Usage Guidelines
Make sure that you are in the correct virtual device context (VDC). To change the VDC, use the switchto
vdc command.
MTU truncation and the SPAN rate limit cannot be enabled for the same SPAN session. If you configure
both for one session, only the rate limit is allowed on F1 Series modules, and MTU truncation is disabled
until you disable the rate limit configuration. This limitation does not apply to F2 and M2 Series modules
or Supervisor 2.
MTU truncation and the ERSPAN source rate limit are supported only on F Series and M2 Series
modules and Supervisor 2. They are not supported on M1 Series modules.
MTU truncation and ERSPAN sampling can be enabled at the same time and have no precedence over
Note
each other because they are applied to different aspects of the source packet (size versus packet count).
This command does not require a license.
