Configuring SPAN and RSPAN

Configuring a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN

Command or Action

Step 3 monitor session session_number source

interface interface-id

Example:

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

Purpose

Specifies the characteristics of the source port (monitored port) and SPAN session.

•For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.

•For interface-id, specify the source port to monitor. The interface specified must already be configured as a trunk port.

Step 4 monitor session session_number filter vlan

vlan-id [, -]

Example:

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

Step 5 monitor session session_number destination {interface interface-id[, -] [encapsulation replicate]}

Example:

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

Step 6

end

Example:

Switch(config)# end

Limits the SPAN source traffic to specific VLANs.

•For session_number, enter the session number specified in Step 3.

•For vlan-id, the range is 1 to 4094.

•(Optional) Use a comma (,) to specify a series of VLANs, or use a hyphen (-) to specify a range of VLANs. Enter a space before and after the comma; enter a space before and after the hyphen.

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

•For session_number, specify the session number entered in Step 3.

•For interface-id, specify the destination port. The destination interface must be a physical port; it cannot be an EtherChannel, and it cannot be a VLAN.

•(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) encapsulation replicate specifies that the destination interface replicates the source interface encapsulation method. If not selected, the default is to send packets in native form (untagged).

Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

Configuring a VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN

First create a new VLAN to be the RSPAN VLAN for the RSPAN session.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a new VLAN, then configure it to be the RSPAN VLAN for the RSPAN session.
