The correct answer is A. switch(config-monitor)# destination interface ethernet 1/1. A network engineer must monitor all source traffic from a server on VLAN 80 by capturing it on a monitoring device. This task involves configuring a Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) session to mirror the traffic.
Question
Refer to the exhibit. A network engineer must monitor the traffic from the server on VLAN 80. All source traffic from the server must be captured on the monitoring device. Which configuration set meets these requirements?

Why each option
A network engineer must monitor all source traffic from a server on VLAN 80 by capturing it on a monitoring device. This task involves configuring a Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) session to mirror the traffic.
This configuration likely follows a preceding 'monitor session' command where source interfaces or VLANs are defined, and 'destination interface ethernet 1/1' specifies the port to which the mirrored traffic will be sent for capture by the monitoring device. To capture 'all source traffic from the server on VLAN 80', the SPAN source would be configured for that specific VLAN or the server's connected port.
This is a duplicate of option A and does not offer a distinct technical reason.
This option specifies 'ethernet 1/2' as the destination, which would be incorrect if 'ethernet 1/1' is the actual port connected to the monitoring device as per the intended configuration.
This is a duplicate of option C and does not offer a distinct technical reason.
