A company wants to use Cisco Nexus Dashboard to analyze SPAN traffic from multiple Nexus switches. They plan to use ERSPAN to send traffic to Nexus Dashboard. However, they are concerned about the bandwidth impact on the network. What is the best practice to minimize the impact?

Send all SPAN traffic to Nexus Dashboard without filtering.

Use SPAN filters to send only the traffic of interest to Nexus Dashboard.

Disable SPAN on switches that are not critical.

Use a dedicated 100GbE link for ERSPAN traffic.

What is the primary role of Cisco Nexus Dashboard in a data center?

Centralized platform for monitoring and managing data center infrastructure

A load balancer for application traffic

A firewall appliance for data center security

A network administrator is implementing SPAN monitoring in a data center. They need to monitor traffic on a critical VLAN that carries storage replication traffic. The administrator is concerned about the impact of SPAN on the switch's performance. Which best practice should they follow?

Monitor the VLAN on all switches in the fabric to ensure complete coverage.

Enable SPAN on the supervisor module to reduce the load on line cards.

Use SPAN destination ports that are also used for production traffic to save ports.

Use a dedicated monitoring VLAN and SPAN only the necessary interfaces.

How can SPAN data be integrated with Cisco Nexus Dashboard?

By configuring SPAN directly on the Nexus Dashboard appliance

By sending SPAN traffic to a collector that forwards to Nexus Dashboard

By enabling SPAN on Nexus Dashboard's virtual switch

By using SPAN to copy traffic to the Nexus Dashboard management port
