Exam 350-601 topic 1 question 160 discussion

I propose Solution B : For Cisco UCS 6332 and 6332-16UPFabric Interconnects,you cannotchooseFibre Channel destination ports. The destinationport must be an unconfigured physical Ethernetport https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/GUI-User-Guides/System-Monitoring/3-2/b_UCSM_GUI_System_Monitoring_Guide_3_2/b_UCSM_GUI_System_Monitoring_Guide_3_2_chapter_01101.pdf

Has to be B. All the ones showing support and evidence of it could be A is false. it says " vHBA can be a source for either an Ethernet or Fibre Channel monitoring session, but it cannot be a source for both simultaneously." - It does not limit a server with 2 vHBAs monitoring both vHBAs for FC...just says you cannot do a session for ethernet and FC simultaneously on a single vHBA. The wordings on a lot of these exam questions are horrible really.

i this it is B A is correct vHBA A vHBA can be a source for either an Ethernet or Fibre Channel monitoring session, but it cannot be a source for both simultaneously. When a VHBA is set as the SPAN source, the SPAN destination only receives VN-Tagged frames. It does not receive direct FC frames. Cisco UCS 6200 supports traffic monitoring from a vHBA in the transmit direction. However, Cisco UCS 6454 Fabric Interconnects do not support traffic monitoring traffic from a vHBA in the transmit direction For Cisco UCS 6300 Fabric Interconnects, the destination port must also be an unconfigured physical Ethernet port. For Cisco UCS 6332 and Cisco UCS 6332-16UP Fabric Interconnects, you cannot choose Fibre Channel destination ports, but can use unconfigured ethernet ports as a destination for FC traffic monitoring sessions.

I choose B

I think it is B too. The 6332 FI model has only QSFP ports which only support Ethernet or FCoE. Thus it's true that we will be able to monitor FC traffic, which will be inevitable be encapsulated over Ethernet (aka FCoE)

Answer A

I vote for B as the solution, but A is also valid: "For Cisco UCS 6332 and 6332-16UP Fabric Interconnects, you cannot choose Fibre Channel destination ports. The destination port must be an unconfigured physical Ethernet port." "You can monitor Fibre Channel traffic using either a Fibre Channel traffic analyzer or an Ethernet traffic analyzer. When Fibre Channel traffic is monitored with an Ethernet traffic monitoring session, at an Ethernet destination port, the destination traffic is FCoE." https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/unified_computing/ucs/ucs-manager/GUI-User-Guides/System-Monitoring/3-2/b_UCSM_GUI_System_Monitoring_Guide_3_2/b_UCSM_GUI_System_Monitoring_Guide_3_2_chapter_01101.pdf

A vHBA can be a source for either an Ethernet or Fibre Channel monitoring session, but it cannot be a source for both simultaneously. Hence one vHBA per server.

Sounds like B is right: When Fibre Channel traffic is monitored with an Ethernet traffic monitoring session, at an Ethernet destination port, the destination traffic is FCoE.
