Session Sources

In a single local SPAN or RSPAN session source, you can monitor the port traffic, such as received (Rx), transmitted (Tx), or bidirectional (both). The switch supports any number of source ports (up to the maximum number of available ports on the switch) and any number of source VLANs.

To configure the source ports to be mirrored, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Click Status and Statistics > SPAN and RSPAN > Session Sources.

Step 2

Click Add.

Step 3

Select the session number from Session ID. This must be the same for all source ports and the destination port.

Step 4

In the Monitor Type field, select whether incoming, outgoing, or both types of traffic are mirrored.

  • Rx and Tx—Port mirroring on both incoming and outgoing packets

  • Rx—Port mirroring on incoming packets

  • Tx—Port mirroring on outgoing packets

Step 5

Click Apply. The source interface for the mirroring is configured.
