Chapter 30 Monitoring Network Traffic Using SPAN
Monitoring Traffic Using Fibre Channel Analyzers
Figure 30-5
Fibre Channel Analyzer Usage Without SPAN
This type of connection has the following limitations:
•
Requires you to physically insert the FC analyzer between the two network devices.
•
It disrupts traffic when the Fibre Channel analyzer is physically connected.
•
The analyzer captures data only on the rx links in both port 1 and port 2. Port 1 captures traffic
exiting interface fc1/1 and port 2 captures ingress traffic into interface fc1/1.
Using SPAN
Using SPAN, you can capture the same traffic scenario shown in
Figure 30-5
without any traffic
disruption. The Fibre Channel analyzer uses the ingress (rx) link at port 1 to capture all the frames going
out of the interface fc1/1. It uses the ingress link at port 2, to capture all the ingress traffic on interface
fc1/1.
Using SPAN you can monitor ingress traffic on fc1/1 at SD port fc2/2 and egress traffic on SD port fc2/1.
This traffic is seamlessly captured by the FC analyzer as shown in
Figure 30-6
