Chapter29 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
You can limit SPAN traffic to specific VLANs by using the filter vlan keyword. If a trunk port is
being monitored, only traffic on the VLANs specified with this keyword is monitored. By default,
all VLANs are monitored on a trunk port.
You cannot mix source VLANs and filter VLANs within a single SPAN session.
Creating a Local SPAN Session
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a SPAN session and specify the source
(monitored) ports or VLANs and the destination (monitoring) po rt s:
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 no monitor session {session_number | all |
local | remote}Remove any existing SPAN configuration for the session.
For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.
Specify all to remove all SPAN sessions, local to remove all local
sessions, or remote to remove all remote SPAN sessions.
Step3 monitor session session_number source
{interface interface-id | vlan vlan-id} [, | -]
[both | rx | tx]
Specify the SPAN session and the source port (monitored port).
For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.
For interface-id, specify the source port or source VLAN to monitor.
For source interface-id, specify the source port to monitor. V alid
interfaces include physical interfaces and port-channel logical
interfaces (port-channel port-channel-number). Valid
port-channel numbers are 1 to 48.
For vlan-id, specify the source VLAN to monitor. The range is 1
to 4094 (excluding the RSPAN VLAN).
Note 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 SPAN mon itors both sent and received
traffic.
both—Monitor both received and sent traffic. This is the default.
rx—Monitor received traffic.
tx—Monitor sent traffic.
Note You can use the monitor session session_number source
command multiple times to configure multiple source ports.
