An engineer implements SPAN configuration on an Nexus 5000 series switch. Which two commands are necessary to complete the SPAN session configuration? (Choose two)

The correct answer is C. Configure switchport speed 4000 under interface fc2/2. E. Configure the switchport mode SD under interface fc2/2.

Explanation

When configuring a Fibre Channel SPAN session on a Cisco Nexus 5000, the SPAN destination port (the port where the analyzer is connected) requires two specific interface-level configurations: (E) 'switchport mode SD' - sets the port to SPAN Destination (SD) mode so it only forwards mirrored traffic to the analyzer, and (C) 'switchport speed 4000' - sets the port speed to match the FC speed of the monitored traffic (4 Gbps in this case), ensuring the destination port can handle the mirrored traffic without drops. Options A and B are incorrect because 'monitor' or 'SD' is not configured under fc2/2 (the source port). Option D ('session type fc') is not valid NX-OS SPAN syntax; the session type is defined differently in the monitor session configuration.
