Shutting Down or Activating an ERSPAN Session
You can shut down ERSPAN sessions to discontinue the copying of packets from sources to destinations.
Because only a specific number of ERSPAN sessions can be running simultaneously, you can shut down a
session to free hardware resources to enable another session. By default, ERSPAN sessions are created in the
shut state.
