To connect Director to the network using Span ports, be sure that at least one of your DNMs is a Span model. Use ports in that DNM to connect to the network.
Span port numbering is shown in the following diagram. It is the same for Span DNMs and

Note:__________________________________________________________________________________________________
DNM 1 is on the left and DNM 2 is on the right. In the CLI, the Network ports are designated using the letter "n" followed by the DNM number, a dot, and then the port number. For example, the Network port on the upper left is n1.1 and the Network port on the lower right is n2.12.

To connect a Span port:
1.Plug the appropriate cable into a Director Span port.
2.Plug the other end of the cable into the Span port of the switch. The Link LED for the port illuminates after a short delay to indicate that a link has been established. If the traffic if flowing from the Span port, two Link LEDs blink.
Repeat for all desired Span port connections.
