Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters interface configuration mode for the
specified interface.
switch(config-monitor)# interface ethernet
port/slot
Step 2
You can specify a range to configure
multiple interfaces at once.
Note
Sets the interface to monitor mode. Priority flow
control (PFC) is disabled when the port is
configured as a SPAN destination.
switch(config-if)# switchport monitor
Step 3
Brings the interface administratively up.switch(config-if)# no shutdown
Step 4
Enables Warp SPAN on the interface.switch(config)# monitor session warp
Step 5
Brings the interface administratively up.switch(config)# no shutdown
Step 6
Configures the destination group.switch(conifig-monitor)# destination group
group-number
Step 7
You can create a maximum of 12
groups with a total of 47 destination
ports. All of the groups have four
ports, except for group 9, which has
only three ports and excludes port
1/36 (the fixed source port).
Note
Saves the change persistently through reboots
and restarts by copying the running
configuration to the startup configuration.
(Optional) switch(config-if)# copy
running-config startup-config
Step 8
Example
The following example shows how to configure destination SPAN ports 1/1-4 for Warp SPAN:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config-monitor)# interface ethernet 1/1-4
switch(config-if-range)# switchport monitor
switch(config-if-range)# no shutdown
switch(config)# monitor session warp
switch(config)# no shutdown
switch(config-monitor)# destination group 1
switch(config-if-range)# copy running-config startup-config
Verifying Warp SPAN Mode Configuration
You can verify the Warp SPAN mode configuration.
