Usage Guidelines
Traffic that enters or leaves source ports or source VLANs can be monitored by using SPAN or RSPAN.
Traffic routed to source ports or source VLANs cannot be monitored.
A source can be a physical port, a port channel, or a VLAN.
Each session can include multiple ingress or egress source ports or VLANs, but you cannot combine source
ports and source VLANs in a single session. Each session can include multiple destination ports.
When you use VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) to analyze network traffic in a VLAN or set of VLANs, all
active ports in the source VLANs become source ports for the SPAN or RSPAN session. Trunk ports are
included as source ports for VSPAN, and only packets with the monitored VLAN ID are sent to the destination
port.
You can monitor traffic on a single port or VLAN or on a series or range of ports or VLANs. You select a
series or range of interfaces or VLANs by using the [, | -] options.
If you specify a series of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the comma. If you
specify a range of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the hyphen (-).
You can monitor individual ports while they participate in an EtherChannel, or you can monitor the entire
EtherChannel bundle by specifying the port-channel number as the RSPAN source interface.
A port used as a destination port cannot be a SPAN or RSPAN source, nor can a port be a destination port for
more than one session at a time.
You can enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.
You can verify your settings by entering the show monitor privileged EXEC command. You can display
SPAN, RSPAN, FSPAN, and FRSPAN configuration on the switch by entering the show running-config
privileged EXEC command. SPAN information appears near the end of the output.
Examples This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source
port 1 on stack member 1 to destination port 2 on stack member 2:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 both
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
This example shows how to configure RSPAN source session 1 to monitor multiple source interfaces and to
configure the destination RSPAN VLAN 900.
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface port-channel 2 tx
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 900
Switch(config)# end
