A network operations team has deployed Cisco Nexus Dashboard Insights and is seeing alerts about anomalies in traffic patterns. The team is unsure whether these alerts indicate a real problem or are false positives. What should they do to validate the alerts?

Disable the AI-powered features to avoid false positives.

Increase the alert threshold to reduce the number of alerts.

Cross-reference the alerts with SPAN captures and other telemetry data.

Ignore the alerts if they do not match known issues.

A company wants to analyze east-west traffic in their data center for security threats. They have Nexus switches and Cisco Nexus Dashboard. They plan to use SPAN to capture traffic and send it to Nexus Dashboard for analysis. What is the recommended method to send the SPAN traffic to Nexus Dashboard?

Copy the SPAN traffic to a file and upload it to Nexus Dashboard manually.

Configure a SPAN session with the destination as the Nexus Dashboard's management port.

Use SNMP to send the SPAN traffic to Nexus Dashboard.

Use ERSPAN to encapsulate the traffic and send it to the Nexus Dashboard's IP address.

What is the primary purpose of Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) on a Cisco Nexus switch?

To block malicious traffic by analyzing packets in real time

To replicate traffic from one or more source ports or VLANs to a destination port for monitoring

To prioritize traffic based on QoS policies

To provide a redundant path for critical traffic
