Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters interface configuration mode for the
specified Ethernet interface selected by the slot
and port values.
switch(config)# interface ethernet
slot/port
Step 2
Specifies that the rate limit is 1 Gbps.switch(config-if)# switchport monitor
rate-limit 1G
Step 3
Reverts to global configuration mode.switch(config-if)# exit
Step 4
This example shows how to limit the bandwidth on Ethernet interface 1/2 to 1 Gbps:
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/2

Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters monitor configuration mode for the specified
monitoring session.
switch(config) # monitor session
session-number
Step 2
Adds an Ethernet SPAN source port and specifies the traffic
direction in which to duplicate packets. You can enter a
switch(config-monitor) # source
interface type slot/port [rx | tx |
both]
Step 3
range of Ethernet, Fibre Channel, or virtual Fibre Channel
ports. You can specify the traffic direction to duplicate as
ingress (Rx), egress (Tx), or both. By default, the direction
is both.
The following example shows how to configure an Ethernet SPAN source port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# monitor session 2
switch(config-monitor)# source interface ethernet 1/16
switch(config-monitor)#
The following example shows how to configure a virtual Fibre Channel SPAN source port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# monitor session 2
switch(config-monitor)# source interface vfc 129
switch(config-monitor)#
