Configuring SPAN on SVC Interfaces
switch(config-span)# source interface svc1/1
Note
The traffic-type option is specific to SVC interfaces and cannot be used with any other SPAN source
interfaces type.
Configure the source interface svc2/1 for all initiator and mgmt traffic in the rx direction, and for all
Step 5
target traffic in the tx direction.
switch(config-span)# source interface svc2/1 rx traffic-type initiator
switch(config-span)# source interface svc2/1 rx traffic-type mgmt
switch(config-span)# source interface svc2/1 tx traffic-type target
Step 6
Configure the source interface in the rx direction for the initiator, target, and mgmt traffic-types in the
rx direction.
sw(config-span)# source interface svc1/1 rx
Step 7
Display the configured SPAM session to verify the configuration.
switch# show span session 2
Session 2 (admin suspended)
...
You have now configured SVC interfaces as SPAN sources. Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family
Configuration Guide for further details on the SPAN feature.
Using VSAN Filters to Specify N-Port Traffic
By default, traffic on all N-ports are spanned. You can monitor traffic on a specific N-port using the
VSAN filtering SPAN feature.
For example, if a SVC interface (3/1) with three initiator N-ports. Each N-port is in VSAN 3, 4, and 5
respectively. The following procedure configures the steps to SPAN the initiator N-port in VSAN 3.
Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide for further details on using VSAN filters.
To configure a SPAN filter, follow these steps:
Enter the MDS configuration mode.
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Configure a SPAN session.
Step 2
switch(config)# span session 3
switch(config-span)#
Configures the source svc 3/1 interface in the egress (tx) direction for all initiator traffic.
