SPAN sends traffic to and from one or more "source ports" to a "destination port." A protocol analyzer resides at the destination port. The source ports are the monitored ports whose traffic you want to analyze. I'm not sure what you mean by "transmitting port." Cisco doesn't use that term becauses it's too unclear which port it refers to. Now that we have the terminology straight :-), it's normal for traffic to be disrupted to and from the destination port where the analyzer resides. Per the config guide for the 4000, "Once an interface becomes an active destination interface, incoming traffic is disabled. You cannot configure a SPAN destination interface to receive ingress traffic. The interface does not forward any traffic except that required for the SPAN session. " It is not normal for the traffic to be disrupted for the source port. If that's what you're saying, then you better tell us more about the config and the output from show monitor session. I'm guessing that's not what you meant though... Priscilla > > I used the 'monitor session' command and left it blank at the > end implying > 'both' rather than explicitly specifying 'TX or 'RX.

SPAN problem [7:72507]
Hi all, Quick question, I have enabled SPAN to mirror from one port to another. However, when doing so the transmitting port appears detached form the network. i.e.. I cannot ping from the PC attached to that port and nothing on the network can ping it too. When I remove the port from the session I get connectivity again. Could anyone give me any ideas on why this is occurring please. I used the 'monitor session' command and left it blank at the end implying 'both' rather than explicitly specifying 'TX or 'RX. None of the ports are involved in trunking, they are in the same VLAN and they are on the same physical switch, and even on the same blade (4006). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SPAN Problem
Hi Robert 2924s don't use set commands, they need to be put into global configuration mode (conf t), and then interface configuration mode (int fa0/X) to apply changes. Its not too dissimilar to router interface command sets. ctrl-z exits config mode, and wr writes it away to nvram. The set command from privileged exec will run an initial setup routine on the switch. Hope that helps, Paul Hello: I am trying to set SPAN on my 2924 switch using command set span My switch doesn't recognize this command. As matter of fact when I do set ? the only provided option is . What's wrong? I was sure that 2924 can do span. your help will be appreciated. BTW, I am in privileged mode.

Re: SPAN problem
You can do "set span" with catalyst 5k. Catalyst 2924 has different command.. You have to insert following command to the interface, which your monitor is connected to. interface fastethernet 0/1 port monitor FastEthernet 0/2 FastEthernet 0/2 is the monitored interface -Tapani- Robert Borejszo wrote: > Hello: > I am trying to set SPAN on my 2924 switch using command set span > My switch doesn't recognize this command.
