Configuring SPAN and RSPAN

Examples: Creating an RSPAN VLAN

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

Switch(config)# end

Examples: Creating an RSPAN VLAN

This example shows how to create the RSPAN VLAN 901:

Switch(config)# vlan 901

Switch(config-vlan)# remote span

Switch(config-vlan)# end

This example shows how to remove any existing RSPAN configuration for session 1, configure RSPAN session 1 to monitor multiple source interfaces, and configure the destination as RSPAN VLAN 901:

Switch(config)# no monitor session 1

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 tx

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 rx

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface port-channel 2

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 901

Switch(config)# end

This example shows how to remove any existing configuration on RSPAN session 2, configure RSPAN session 2 to monitor traffic received on trunk port 2, and send traffic for only VLANs 1 through 5 and 9 to destination RSPAN VLAN 902:

Switch(config)# no monitor session 2

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 rx

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 filter vlan 1 - 5 , 9

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination remote vlan 902

Switch(config)# end

This example shows how to configure VLAN 901 as the source remote VLAN and port 1 as the destination interface:

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source remote vlan 901

Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet2/0/1

Switch(config)# end

This example shows how to configure VLAN 901 as the source remote VLAN in RSPAN session 2, to configure Gigabit Ethernet source port 2 as the destination interface, and to enable forwarding of incoming traffic on the interface with VLAN 6 as the default receiving VLAN:

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 source remote vlan 901

Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 ingress vlan 6 Switch(config)# end
