Configuring SPAN and RSPAN

Creating a Local SPAN Session

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create a SPAN session and specify the source
(monitored) ports or VLANs and the destination (monitoring) ports:

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

no monitor session {session_number | all |
local | remote}

Remove any existing SPAN configuration for the session.

For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.

Specify all to remove all SPAN sessions, local to remove all local
sessions, or remote to remove all remote SPAN sessions.

Step 3

monitor session session_number source
{interface interface-id | vlan vlan-id} [, | -]
[both | rx | tx]

Specify the SPAN session and the source port (monitored port).

For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.

For interface-id, specify the source port or source VLAN to monitor.

•

For source interface-id, specify the source port to monitor. Valid
interfaces include physical interfaces and port-channel logical
interfaces (port-channel port-channel-number). Valid
port-channel numbers are 1 to 64.

•

For vlan-id, specify the source VLAN to monitor. The range is 1
to 4094 (excluding the RSPAN VLAN).

Note

A single session can include multiple sources (ports or
VLANs), defined in a series of commands, but you cannot
combine source ports and source VLANs in one session.

(Optional) [, | -] Specify a series or range of interfaces. Enter a space
before and after the comma; enter a space before and after the
hyphen.

(Optional) Specify the direction of traffic to monitor. If you do not
specify a traffic direction, the SPAN monitors both sent and received
traffic.

•

both—Monitor both received and sent traffic. This is the
default.

•

rx—Monitor received traffic.

•

tx—Monitor sent traffic.

Note

You can use the monitor session session_number source
command multiple times to configure multiple source ports.
