Exam 300-115 Question id=1332 Layer 2 Technologies

Refer to the exhibit.
Switch#sh int g0/12 GigabitEthernet0/12 is up, line protocol is down (monitoring) Hardware is C6k 1000Mb, address is 001f.26b2.9181 (bia 001f.26b2.9181) MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1000000 Kbit, DLY 10 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set Keepalive set (10 sec) Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s
A network engineer investigates a recent network failure and notices that one of the interfaces on the switch is still down. What is causing the line protocol on this interface to be shown as down?

A. There is a layer 1 physical issue.
B. There is a speed mismatch on the interface.
C. The interface is configured as the target of the SPAN session.
D. The interface is configured as the source of the SPAN session
E. There is a duplex mismatch on the interface.

With the SAPN destination port, the state of the destination port is up/down by design. The interface shows the port in this state in order to make it evident that the port is currently not usable as a production port. This is the normal operational state for SPAN destinations.
