Chapter 51 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN Configuring RSPAN
Creating an RSPAN Destination Session
To create an RSPAN destination session and to specify the source RSPAN VLAN and the destination
port, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure VLAN 901 as the source remote VLAN and port 5 as the
destination interface:
Switch# configure terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source remote vlan 901
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitEthernet1/2
Switch(config)# end
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# monitor session
session_number source remote vlan
vlan-ID
Specifies the RSPAN session and the source RSPAN VLAN.
For session_number, specifies the session number identified with this
RSPAN session (1 through 6).
For vlan-ID, specifies the source RSPAN VLAN to monitor.
Step 3 Switch(config)# [no] monitor session
session_number destination interface
interface [encapsulation {isl | dot1q}]
[ingress [vlan vlan_IDs] [learning]]
Specifies the RSPAN session and the destination interface.
For session_number, specifies the session number identified with this
RSPAN session (1 through 6).
For interface, specifies the destination interface.
For vlan_IDs, specifies the ingress VLAN, if necessary.
(Optional) [, | -] Specifies a series or range of interfaces. Enter a
space after the comma; enter a space before and after the hyphen.
(Optional) Specifies the direction of traffic to monitor. If you do not
specify a traffic direction, the source interface sends both sent and
received traffic. Only received (rx) traffic can be monitored on
additional source ports.
isl—Use ISL encapsulation.
dot1q—Use 802.1Q encapsulation.
Step 4 Switch(config)# end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 5 Switch# show monitor [session
session_number]Verifies your entries.
Step 6 Switch# copy running-config
startup-config (Optional) Saves your entries in the configuration file.
