QuestionQ394

Network

An engineer is deploying traffic monitoring for a server vNIC configured with fabric failover. Traffic must be sent to an analyzer even if one of the fabric interconnects fails. The analyzer is connected to unconfigured Ethernet ports on both fabric interconnects. Which configuration achieves this requirement?

  • A Create two traffic monitoring sessions with different names, one per fabric. Connect an analyzer on each FI as the destination for the monitoring session local to the FI.
  • B Create two traffic monitoring sessions with the same name, one per fabric. Connect the analyzer connected to FI-A as the destination for both monitoring sessions.
  • C Create two traffic monitoring sessions with different names, one per fabric. Connect the analyzer connected to FI-B as the destination for both monitoring sessions.
  • D Create two traffic monitoring sessions with the same name, one per fabric. Connect an analyzer on each FI as the destination for the monitoring session local to that FI.
Explanation

A traffic-monitoring session has a single physical-port destination and can monitor only one fabric. Uninterrupted vNIC monitoring through fabric failover requires one session per fabric, two locally connected analyzers, and the same vNIC source/session name in both sessions.
