I use a 2900XL with many span ports. I use one of them for an Internet monitoring software. It has the ability to monitor at 100Mbps full duplex and transmitt on that same port. I have a Sniffer Pro DSS and I am able to transmitt data on that span port also. Neil "Priscilla Oppenheimer" <[EMAI

Priscilla, You can allow a SPAN destination port to receive data from the connected workstation. The command you use to enable it is: set span {src_mod/src_ports | src_vlans | sc0} {dest_mod/dest_port} [rx | tx | both] [inpkts {enable | disable}] [learning {enable | disable}] [multicast {ena

Yeah, you're correct. A second port is needed for the probe to send data to a network management system. I have tried this a few times using Sniffer Pro. You cannot put data on the network over the SPAN port, it is only intended for listening to the configured ports. -j Priscilla Oppenheim

Hi Priscilla, Hi Group, I used the SPAN functionality often on remote sites with Catalyst 2924XL and Catalyst 6000 switches. As sniffer device i used a unix workstation on the remote network that was able to run a basic protocol analyzer (tcpdump, snoop). I setup and operated SPAN functionality
