Chapter 30 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Understanding SPAN and RSPAN
SPAN and RSPAN Interaction with Other Features
SPAN interacts with these features:
•
Routing—SPAN does not monitor routed traffic. VSPAN only monitors traffic that enters or exits
the switch, not traffic that is routed between VLANs. For example, if a VLAN is being
Rx-monitored and the switch routes traffic from another VLAN to the monitored VLAN, that traffic
is not monitored and not received on the SPAN destination port.
•
STP—A destination port does not participate in STP while its SPAN or RSPAN session is active.
The destination port can participate in STP after the SPAN or RSPAN session is disabled. On a
source port, SPAN does not affect the STP status. STP can be active on trunk ports carrying an
RSPAN VLAN.
•
CDP—A SPAN destination port does not participate in CDP while the SPAN session is active. After
the SPAN session is disabled, the port again participates in CDP.
•
VTP—You can use VTP to prune an RSPAN VLAN between switches.
•
VLAN and trunking—You can modify VLAN membership or trunk settings for source or
destination ports at any time. However, changes in VLAN membership or trunk settings for a
destination port do not take effect until you remove the SPAN destination configuration. Changes in
VLAN membership or trunk settings for a source port immediately take effect, and the respective
SPAN sessions automatically adjust accordingly.
•
EtherChannel—You can configure an EtherChannel group as a source port but not as a SPAN
destination port. When a group is configured as a SPAN source, the entire group is monitored.
If a physical port is added to a monitored EtherChannel group, the new port is added to the SPAN
source port list. If a port is removed from a monitored EtherChannel group, it is automatically
removed from the source port list.
A physical port that belongs to an EtherChannel group can be configured as a SPAN source port and
still be a part of the EtherChannel. In this case, data from the physical port is monitored as it
participates in the EtherChannel. However, if a physical port that belongs to an EtherChannel group
is configured as a SPAN destination, it is removed from the group. After the port is removed from
the SPAN session, it rejoins the EtherChannel group. Ports removed from an EtherChannel group
remain members of the group, but they are in the
inactive
or
suspended
state.
If a physical port that belongs to an EtherChannel group is a destination port and the EtherChannel
group is a source, the port is removed from the EtherChannel group and from the list of monitored
ports.
•
Multicast traffic can be monitored. For egress and ingress port monitoring, only a single unedited
packet is sent to the SPAN destination port. It does not reflect the number of times the multicast
packet is sent.
•
A private-VLAN port cannot be a SPAN destination port.
•
A secure port cannot be a SPAN destination port.
For SPAN sessions, do not enable port security on ports with monitored egress when ingress
forwarding is enabled on the destination port. For RSPAN source sessions, do not enable port
security on any ports with monitored egress.
