Chapter 34      Configuring Local SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring Local SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring Local or RSPAN Sources 
Note To configure an RSPAN source session, configure a source with an RSPAN VLAN as the destination. To 
configure an RSPAN destination session, configure an RSPAN VLAN as the source and a port as the 
destination. 
To configure a local SPAN or RSPAN source, perform this task:
When configuring monitor sessions, note the following syntax information:
• single_interface is interface type slot/port; type is ethernet, fastethernet, gigabitethernet, or 
tengigabitethernet.
• interface_list is single_interface , single_interface , single_interface ... 
Note In lists, you must enter a space before and after the comma. In ranges, you must enter a space 
before and after the dash.
• interface_range is interface type slot/first_port - last_port 
• mixed_interface_list is, in any order, single_interface , interface_range , ...
• single_vlan is a the ID number of a single VLAN.
• vlan_list is single_vlan , single_vlan , single_vlan ...
• vlan_range is first_vlan_ID - last_vlan_ID 
• mixed_vlan_list is, in any order, single_vlan , vlan_range , ...
When clearing monitor sessions, note the following syntax information:
• The no monitor session number command entered with no other parameters clears 
session session_number.
• session_range is first_session_number-last_session_number 
Step 2
Router(config-vlan)# remote-span 
Configures the VLAN as an RSPAN VLAN.
Router(config-vlan)# no remote-span 
Clears the RSPAN VLAN configuration.
Step 3
Router(config-vlan)# end 
Updates the VLAN database and returns to privileged 
EXEC mode.

Router(config)# monitor session session_number source 
{{single_interface | interface_list | interface_range 
| mixed_interface_list | single_vlan | vlan_list | 
vlan_range | mixed_vlan_list} [rx | tx | both]} | 
{remote vlan rspan_vlan_ID}} 
Configures the session number, the source ports, VLANs, or 
RSPAN VLAN, and the traffic direction to be monitored.
Router(config)# no monitor session {session_number | 
all | local | 
range session_range[[,session_range],...] | remote} 
Clears the monitor configuration.
