Command
Step 6 end
Step 7
show monitor [session session_number]
show running-config
Step 8 copy running-config startup-config
To monitor all VLANs on the trunk port, use the no monitor session session_number filter global
configuration command.
This example shows how to remove any existing configuration on SPAN session 2, configure SPAN
session 2 to monitor traffic received on Gigabit Ethernet trunk port 2, and send traffic for only VLANs
1 through 5 and VLAN 9 to destination Gigabit Ethernet port 1.
Switch(config)# no monitor session 2
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 rx
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 filter vlan 1 - 5 , 9
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(config)# end

As RSPAN VLANs have special properties, you should reserve a few VLANs across your network
for use as RSPAN VLANs; do not assign access ports to these VLANs.
You can apply an output access control list (ACL) to RSPAN traffic to selectively filter or monitor
specific packets. Specify these ACLs on the RSPAN VLAN in the RSPAN source switches.
For RSPAN configuration, you can distribute the source ports and the destination ports across
multiple switches in your network.
RSPAN does not support BPDU packet monitoring or other Layer 2 switch protocols.
The RSPAN VLAN is configured only on trunk ports and not on access ports. To avoid unwanted
traffic in RSPAN VLANs, make sure that the VLAN remote-span feature is supported in all the
participating switches.
Access ports (including voice VLAN ports) on the RSPAN VLAN are put in the inactive state.
Purpose
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
(Optional) Save the configuration in the configuration file.
