Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters monitor configuration mode for the
specified SPAN session.
switch(config) # monitor session
session-number
Step 2
Configures port channel, SAN port channel,
VLAN, or VSAN sources. For VLAN or VSAN
sources, the monitored direction is implicit.
switch(config-monitor) # source {interface
{port-channel | san-port-channel}
channel-number [rx | tx | both] | vlan
vlan-range | vsan vsan-range }
Step 3
The following example shows how to configure a port channel SPAN source:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# monitor session 2
switch(config-monitor)# source interface port-channel 1 rx
switch(config-monitor)# source interface port-channel 3 tx
switch(config-monitor)# source interface port-channel 5 both
switch(config-monitor)#
This example shows how to configure a SAN port channel SPAN source:
switch(config-monitor)#switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# monitor session 2
switch(config-monitor)# source interface san-port-channel 3 rx
switch(config-monitor)#
The following example shows how to configure a VLAN SPAN source:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# monitor session 2
switch(config-monitor)# source vlan 1
switch(config-monitor)#
switch(config-monitor)#This example shows how to configure a VSAN SPAN source:
switch(config-monitor)#switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# monitor session 2
switch(config-monitor)# source vsan 1
switch(config-monitor)#
