Deleting a SPAN session

To remove a SPAN session, do the following:

1. Display the existing configuration of the monitor session.

switch# show monitor session 1

2. Delete the existing monitor session by using the no keyword.

switch(config)# no monitor session 1

3. Return to Privileged EXEC mode with the exit command.
4. Display the monitor session again to confirm the deletion of the connection.

switch# show monitor session 1

Configuring SPAN in a logical chassis cluster

Refer also to

SPAN in logical chassis cluster guidelines and limitations

on page 535.

The source command controls the source and destination switches in the logical chassis cluster by
the interface designation. The source and destination port can be anywhere in the logical chassis
cluster. In this example, the source is set as the third switch in the logical chassis cluster by the 3/0/15
value. However the destination is set to the fifth switch in the logical chassis cluster by the 5/0/18
value.

switch(config-session-1)# source tengigabitethernet 3/0/15 destination

tengigabitethernet 5/0/18 direction tx

This configuration rule applies to ingress, egress, and both directions of SPAN. Otherwise, configure
SPAN as you would in standalone mode. Refer to

Switched Port Analyzer protocol overview

on page

533.

The show monitor and show span path commands display the source and destination switches, as
shown in this example:

switch# show span path session 1

Session :1

Path :Te 1/0/10 -> Te 3/0/15 (ISL-exit port) -> Te 5/0/18

switch# show monitor

Session :1

Description :Test monitor session

State :Enabled

Source interface :Te 3/0/15 (Up)

Destination interface :Te 5/0/18 (Up)

Direction :Rx

Configuring RSPAN

Refer also to

RSPAN guidelines and limitations

on page 535.

The principal difference between configuring SPAN and RSPAN is that RSPAN requires a remote
VLAN to be created first, by means of the rspan-vlan command. This example demonstrates the
configuration of a bidirectional RSPAN.

1. Create a remote VLAN on the destination interface.

switch(config)# interface vlan 100

2. Execute the rspan-vlan command to make the VLAN remote.

switch(config-vlan-100)# rspan-vlan

3. Exit the VLAN configuration mode.

switch(config-vlan-100)#end
