Which three items must be configured to mirror traffic to a packet sniffer that is connected to the distribution switch?

Refer to the exhibit.

A network engineer wants to analyze all incoming and outgoing packets for an interface that is connected to an access switch.

Which three items must be configured to mirror traffic to a packet sniffer that is connected to the distribution switch? (Choose three.)
A . A monitor session on the distribution switch with a physical interface as the source and the remote SPAN VLAN as the destination
B . A remote SPAN VLAN on the distribution and access layer switch
C . A monitor session on the access switch with a physical interface source and the remote SPAN VLAN as the destination
D . A monitor session on the distribution switch with a remote SPAN VLAN as the source and physical interface as the destination
E . A monitor session on the access switch with a remote SPAN VLAN source and the physical interface as the destination
F . A monitor session on the distribution switch with a physical interface as the source and a physical interface as the destination

Answer: BCD

Explanation:

You can analyze network traffic passing through ports or VLANs by using SPAN or RSPAN to send a copy of the traffic to another port on the switch or on another switch that has been connected to a network analyzer or other monitoring or security device. SPAN copies (or mirrors) traffic received or sent (or both) on source ports or source VLANs to a destination port for analysis. RSPAN supports source ports, source VLANs, and destination ports on different switches (or different switch stacks), enabling remote monitoring of multiple switches across your network. The traffic for each RSPAN session is carried over a user-specified RSPAN VLAN that is dedicated for that RSPAN session in all participating switches. The RSPAN traffic from the source ports or VLANs is copied into the RSPAN VLAN and forwarded over trunk ports carrying the RSPAN VLAN to a destination session monitoring the RSPAN VLAN. Each RSPAN source switch must have either ports or VLANs as RSPAN sources. The destination is always a physical port Reference: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3750x_3560x/software/ release/12- 2_55_se/configuration/guide/3750xscg/swspan.html
