B/D? Hard to be 100 percent but those seem most correct for Nexus FC SPAN config.
C isn't it. B and D are correct, saw similar configs in the official guide. Practicing on real gear or labs helps lock this down for exam day.
B/D? Every time I've set up SPAN on Nexus 5K with FC, had to explicitly configure both the port speed and set SD mode. Not 100 percent if a new firmware changed the requirement though. Someone correct me if that's off.
D/B imo, since Nexus 5K SPAN on FC needs you to explicitly set the port speed (B) and change mode to SD (D). I've seen configs break if these aren't set. Don't think C applies unless you're working with FCoE. Pretty sure that's the intent here, but let me know if I'm missing something.
B and D, that's what you need for Nexus 5K SPAN setup. C isn't required for this one.
C and D for me. I thought you had to use
switchport monitor to actually direct traffic to the SPAN destination port, so C feels necessary, and D sets the mode. Not totally sure if B matters here though, open to correction.B/D tbh. Setting speed and SD mode are both required here, C just distracts since it's for Ethernet SPAN not FC.
I think C and D. I remember on Nexus 5k you need to set SD mode for SPAN, and "switchport monitor" under the interface is often needed for monitoring. Not totally sure about the speed though, as FC links might auto-negotiate. If anyone's done this in the lab, let me know if I'm missing something.
B/D. Gotta set the interface speed and enable SD mode for FC SPAN sessions on the Nexus 5k. Option C looks tempting but that's more for Ethernet not FC. Similar question popped up in a lab, so pretty confident here but correct me if I'm missing something.
B D for sure. Need to set both the speed on the FC interface and configure SD mode for SPAN to work with Fibre Channel on Nexus 5k. That's what makes these "necessary."
