Chapter37 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring RSPAN
This example shows how to clear any existing configuration on RSPAN session 2, configure RSPAN
session 2 to monitor received traffic on all ports belonging to VLANs 1 through 3, and send it to
destination remote VLAN 902. The configuration is then modified to also monitor received traffic on all
ports belonging to VLAN 10.
Switch(config)# no monitor session 2
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 source vlan 1 - 3 rx
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination remote vlan 902
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 source vlan 10 rx
Switch(config)# end
Specifying VLANs to Filter
To limit RSPAN source traffic to specific VLANs, perform this task:
Command Purpose
Step1 Switch# configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step2 Switch(config)# no monitor session
{
session_number
| all | local |
remote}
Clears any existing SPAN configuration for the session.
For session_number, specifies the session number identified with this
RSPAN session (1 through 6).
Specify all to remove all SPAN sessions, local to remove all local
sessions, or remote to remove all remote SPAN sessions.
Step3 Switch(config)# [no] monitor session
{
session_number
} {source {interface
interface_list
| {vlan
vlan_IDs
| cpu
[queue
queue_ids
]} [rx | tx | both]
Specifies the characteristics of the source port (monitored port) and
RSPAN session.
For session_number, specifies the session number identified with this
RSPAN session (1 through 6).
For interface-list, specifies the source port to monitor. The interface
specified must already be configured as a trunk port.
For vlan-IDs, the range is 1 to 4094; do not enter leading zero s.
For queue_ids, specifies the source queue.
(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 transmitted
(Tx) and received (Rx) traffic. Only received traffic can be monitored
on additional source ports.
Rx—Monitor received traffic.
Tx—Monitor transmitted traffic.
both—Monitor both received and transmitted traffic
(bidirectional).
