Configuring SPAN and RSPAN

Creating a Local SPAN Session

DETAILED STEPS

 

Command or Action

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enters the global configuration mode.

 

Example:

 

 

Switch# configure terminal

 

Step 2 no monitor session {session_number all local remote}

Example:

Switch(config)# no monitor session all

Step 3 monitor session session_number source

{interface interface-id vlan vlan-id}

[, -] [both rx tx]

Example:

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

Removes any existing SPAN configuration for the session.

•For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.

•all—Removes all SPAN sessions.

•local—Removes all local sessions.

•remote—Removes all remote SPAN sessions.

Specifies 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 the source VLAN to monitor.

•For source interface-id, specify the source port to monitor. Only physical interfaces are valid.

•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) [, -] Specifies a series or range of interfaces. Enter a space before and 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 SPAN monitors both sent and received traffic.

•both—Monitors both sent and received traffic. This is the default.

•rx—Monitors received traffic.

•tx—Monitors sent traffic.

Note You can use the monitor session session_number source command multiple times to configure multiple source ports.

Step 4 monitor session session_number destination {interface interface-id[, -] [encapsulation replicate]}

Specifies the SPAN session and the destination port (monitoring port).

Note For local SPAN, you must use the same session number for the source and destination interfaces.
