Suspending A Span Session - Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Configuration Manual

Suspending a SPAN Session

Step 2
The following example shows how to activate a SPAN session:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config) # no monitor session 3 shut
Suspending a SPAN Session
By default, the session state is shut.
Note The Cisco Nexus switch supports two active SPAN sessions. The Cisco Nexus 5548 Switch supports four
active SPAN sessions. When you configure more than two SPAN sessions, the first two sessions are active.
During startup, the order of active sessions is reversed; the last two sessions are active. For example, if
you configured ten sessions 1 to 10 where 1 and 2 are active, after a reboot, sessions 9 and 10 will be
active. To enable deterministic behavior, explicitly suspend the sessions 3 to 10 with the monitor session
session-number shut command.
