Configuring an ERSPAN Source Session
You can configure an ERSPAN session on the local device only. By default, ERSPAN sessions are created
in the shut state.
For sources, you can specify Ethernet ports, port channels, and VLANs. A single ERSPAN session can include
mixed sources in any combination of Ethernet ports or VLANs.
ERSPAN does not monitor any packets that are generated by the supervisor, regardless of their source.Note
