CCNP Data Center 350-601 Release Date

To monitor and export traffic to a Network Analyzer, particularly ingress traffic from Host-A and all traffic for VLAN 20 from Host-B, the engineer must implement a configuration that captures the specified traffic and directs it to the Network Analyzer tool. The correct configuration will depend on the capabilities of the network devices in use and the specifics of the Network Analyzer’s requirements.

 The configuration must include setting up a SPAN (Switched Port Analyzer) or RSPAN (Remote SPAN) session that mirrors the desired traffic to a port connected to the Network Analyzer. This would involve specifying the source interfaces or VLANs and the destination port for the mirrored traffic. Additionally, the configuration should ensure that the Network Analyzer is capable of receiving and processing the mirrored traffic, which may require additional settings on the Network Analyzer itself.

The History Count setting in a user management system is used to prevent the reuse of old passwords. It specifies the number of unique new passwords that must be used before an old password can be reused. This helps enhance security by ensuring that passwords are not easily guessable and that users are not cycling through a small set of favorite passwords.

 To meet the objective of sending a copy of all VLAN 11 traffic on N5K_1 to the Traffic Capturing Device, creating a LAN traffic monitoring session is the necessary action. This session will capture the specified VLAN traffic and forward it to the designated capturing device for analysis or monitoring purposes. The existing configuration in Cisco UCS Manager needs to be complemented with this session to achieve the desired traffic capture.

 The correct code snippet to ensure that the Cisco NX-OS scheduler runs every day at 3:00 a.m. is “time daily 3:00”. This command configures the scheduler to execute the specified job daily at the given time, without the need for a ‘start’ keyword, which is not required in the syntax for daily repetitive tasks.
