An access switch has been configured with an EtherChannel port. After configuring SPAN to monitor this port, the network administrator notices that not all traffic is being replicated to the management server. What is a cause for this issue?

  • A. VLAN filters are required to ensure traffic mirrors effectively.
  • B. SPAN encapsulation replication must be enabled to capture EtherChannel destination traffic.
  • C. The port channel can be used as a SPAN source, but not a destination.
  • D. RSPAN must be used to capture EtherChannel bidirectional traffic.

Suggested Answer: C 🗳️
A source port or EtherChannel is a port or EtherChannel monitored for traffic analysis. You can configure both Layer 2 and Layer 3 ports and EtherChannels as
SPAN sources. SPAN can monitor one or more source ports or EtherChannels in a single SPAN session. You can configure ports or EtherChannels in any VLAN as SPAN sources. Trunk ports or EtherChannels can be configured as sources and mixed with nontrunk sources. A port-channel interface (an EtherChannel) can be a SPAN source, but not a destination.

C is correct, but it doesn't answer the question. The actual answer is B, check: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750/software/release/12-2_52_se/configuration/guide/3750scg/swspan.html

A SPAN destination is a Layer 2 or Layer 3 port or, with Release 12.2(33)SXH and later releases, an EtherChannel, to which local SPAN, RSPAN, or ERSPAN sends traffic for analysis. When you configure a port or EtherChannel as a SPAN destination, it is dedicated for use only by the SPAN feature. Destination EtherChannels do not support the Port Aggregation Control Protocol (PAgP) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) EtherChannel protocols; only the on mode is supported, with all EtherChannel protocol support disabled
