No monitor sessions are configured.
On a source interface, the default is to monitor both received and transmitted traffic.
On a trunk interface used as a source port, all VLANs are monitored.
If encapsulation replicate is not specified on a local SPAN destination port, packets are sent in native
form with no encapsulation tag.
Ingress forwarding is disabled on destination ports.
Global configuration
Release
12.2(53)SE2
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.
You can set a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions. You can have
a total of 66 SPAN and RSPAN sessions on a switch or switch stack.
You can have a maximum of 64 destination ports on a switch or a switch stack.
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 (-).
EtherChannel ports cannot be configured as SPAN or RSPAN destination ports. A physical port that is
a member of an EtherChannel group can be used as a destination port, but it cannot participate in the
EtherChannel group while it is as a SPAN destination.
A private-VLAN port cannot be configured as a SPAN destination port.
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 port that is a SPAN or RSPAN destination port;
however, IEEE 802.1x authentication is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN destination. If IEEE
802.1x authentication is not available on the port, the switch returns an error message. You can enable
IEEE 802.1x authentication on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.
