Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When using RSPAN, the monitor session destination at the mirrored traffic location is the remote SPAN VLAN. Remember, you must create this VLAN in your topology. It is a special purpose VLAN for RSPAN.
At SW3, the monitor session source is the RSPAN VLAN and the destination is the protocol analyzer port.
