Configuring SPAN
Step 19

Configuring Multi-Destination SPAN on F2 Series Modules

If you are configuring a multiple destination port for a SPAN session on a Cisco Nexus 7000 switch, do the
following:
• Remove the module type restriction when configuring multiple SPAN destination port to allow a SPAN
• Designate a primary destination port for VDCs with any Fx module or supervisor to activate a SPAN
The primary destination configuration does not impact transmission of SPAN packets originating from
Note
the M-series module; the primary destination has be active for the SPAN session to be activated.
For sources, you can specify ports, VLANs, or RSPAN VLANs.
Before You Begin
Multiple destination SPAN sessions were not supported in VDCs with F–series modules (F1/F2/F2E/F3), and
hence even if the sessions were configured, they were not enabled in the VDCs. Starting from Cisco NX-OS
Release 7.2, multiple destination SPAN sessions are supported. The primary destination is used to transmit
SPAN packets originated from Fx modules.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switch to vdc command).
