Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Creating an RSPAN Source Session
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to start an RSPAN source session and to specify
the monitored source and the destination RSPAN VLAN:
To delete a SPAN session, use the no monitor session session_number global configuration command.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 no monitor session {session_number | all |
local | remote}
Remove any existing RSPAN configuration for the session.
For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.
Specify all to remove all RSPAN sessions, local to remove all local
sessions, or remote to remove all remote SPAN sessions.
Step 3 monitor session session_number source
{interface interface-id | vlan vlan-id} [, | -]
[both | rx | tx]
Specify the RSPAN session and the source port (monitored port).
For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.
Enter a source port or source VLAN for the RSPAN session:
• For interface-id, specify the source port to monitor. Valid
interfaces include physical interfaces and port-channel logical
interfaces (port-channel port-channel-number). Valid
port-channel numbers are 1 to 6.
• For vlan-id, specify the source VLAN to monitor. The range is 1
to 4094 (excluding the RSPAN VLAN).
A single session can include multiple sources (ports or VLANs),
defined in a series of commands, but you cannot combine source
ports and source VLANs in one session.
(Optional) [, | -] Specify a series or range of interfaces. Enter a space
before and after the comma; enter a space before and after the
hyphen.
(Optional) Specify the direction of traffic to monitor. If you do not
specify a traffic direction, the source interface sends both sent and
received traffic.
• both—Monitor both received and sent traffic.
• rx—Monitor received traffic.
• tx—Monitor sent traffic.
Step 4 monitor session session_number
destination remote vlan vlan-id
Specify the RSPAN session and the destination RSPAN VLAN.
For session_number, enter the number defined in Step 3.
For vlan-id, specify the source RSPAN VLAN to monitor.
Step 5 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6 show monitor [session session_number]
show running-config
Verify the configuration.
Step 7 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save the configuration in the configuration file.
