About SPAN
The switched port analyzer (SPAN) feature is specific to switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. It
monitors network traffic though a Fibre Channel interface. Traffic through any Fibre Channel interface
can be replicated to a special port called the SPAN destination port (SD port). Any Fibre Channel port
in a switch can be configured as an SD port. Once an interface is in SD-port mode, it cannot be used for
normal data traffic. You can attach a Fibre Channel Analyzer to the SD port to monitor SPAN traffic.
SD ports do not receive frames, they merely transmit a copy of the SPAN source traffic. The SPAN
feature is non-intrusive and does not affect switching of network traffic for any SPAN source ports.
