Cisco Nexus 3548 - Configuring Warp SPAN; Verifying Warp SPAN Mode Configuration

Configuring Warp SPAN
You configure Warp SPAN by enabling it and then configuring its destination groups.
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.
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
switch(conifig-monitor)# destination
group group-number
Step 7
(Optional)
Saves the change persistently through reboots and restarts
by copying the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
switch(config-if)# copy
running-config startup-config
Step 8
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.
