Overview

Use these guidelines when setting up monitor sessions to manage capacity limits and tunnel configurations effectively.

These guidelines apply to traffic mirroring:

  • Supports mirroring traffic on a GRE IPv4 or IPv6 tunnel, also known as Encapsulated Remote Switched Port Analyzer (ERSPAN).

  • The system allows eight monitor sessions for ERSPAN, four monitor sessions for local SPAN, and four monitor sessions for SPAN to file.

  • The total number of monitor sessions for all SPAN features is eight.
