monitor session
To create a new Ethernet Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) or a Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN) session configuration for analyzing traffic between ports or add to an existing session configuration, use the monitor session global configuration command. To clear SPAN or RSPAN sessions, use the no form of this command.
monitor session session-number { destination | filter | source}
no monitor session { session-number [ destination | filter | source] | all | local | range session-range | remote}
Syntax Description
The session number identified with the SPAN or RSPAN session. The range is 1 to 68. However if this switch is stacked with Catalyst 2960-S switches, the range is 1 to 66. |
|
Clears all local monitor sessions. |
|
range session-range |
Clears monitor sessions in the specified range. |

Usage Guidelines
You can set a combined maximum of four local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions. You can have a total of 68 SPAN and RSPAN sessions on a switch or switch stack. However if this switch is stacked with Catalyst 2960-S switches, you are limited to a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions, and the range is 1 to 66.
A private-VLAN port cannot be configured as a SPAN destination port.
You can verify your settings by entering the show monitor privileged EXEC command. You can display SPAN, RSPAN, FSPAN, and FRSPAN configuration on the switch by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command. SPAN information appears near the end of the output.
Examples
This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor traffic on Po13 (an EtherChannel port) and limit SPAN traffic in the session only to VLAN 1281. Egress traffic replicates the source; ingress forwarding is not enabled.
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface Po13 Switch(config)# monitor session 1 filter vlan 1281 Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface GigabitEthernet2/0/36 encapsulation replicate Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface GigabitEthernet3/0/36 encapsulation replicate
The following is the output of a show monitor session all command after completing these setup instructions:
Switch# show monitor session all
Session 1
---------
Type : Local Session
Source Ports :
Both : Po13
Destination Ports : Gi2/0/36,Gi3/0/36
Encapsulation : Replicate
Ingress : Disabled
Filter VLANs : 1281
...
monitor session destination
To start a new Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) session or Remote SPAN (RSPAN) destination session, to enable ingress traffic on the destination port for a network security device (such as a Cisco IDS Sensor Appliance), and to add or delete interfaces or VLANs to or from an existing SPAN or RSPAN session, use the monitor session destination global configuration command. To remove the SPAN or RSPAN session or to remove destination interfaces from the SPAN or RSPAN session, use the no form of this command.
monitor session session-number destination { interface interface-id [ , | -] [ encapsulation { replicate | dot1q} ] { ingress [ dot1q | untagged] } | { remote} vlan vlan-id
no monitor session session-number destination { interface interface-id [ , | -] [ encapsulation { replicate | dot1q} ] { ingress [ dot1q | untagged] } | { remote} vlan vlan-id
Syntax Description
Command Default
No monitor sessions are configured.
If encapsulation replicate is not specified on a local SPAN destination port, packets are sent in native form with no encapsulation tag.
Ingress forwarding is disabled on destination ports.
You can specify all, local, range session-range, or remote with the no monitor session command to clear all SPAN and RSPAN, all local SPAN, a range, or all RSPAN sessions.

Usage Guidelines
You can set a combined maximum of four local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions. You can have a total of 68 SPAN and RSPAN sessions on a switch or switch stack. However if this switch is stacked with Catalyst 2960-S switches, you are limited to a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions, and the range is 1 to 66.
A SPAN or RSPAN destination must be a physical port.
You can have a maximum of 64 destination ports on a switch or a switch stack.
Each session can include multiple ingress or egress source ports or VLANs, but you cannot combine source ports and source VLANs in a single session. Each session can include multiple destination ports.
When you use VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) to analyze network traffic in a VLAN or set of VLANs, all active ports in the source VLANs become source ports for the SPAN or RSPAN session. Trunk ports are included as source ports for VSPAN, and only packets with the monitored VLAN ID are sent to the destination port.
You can monitor traffic on a single port or VLAN or on a series or range of ports or VLANs. You select a series or range of interfaces or VLANs by using the [, | -] options.
If you specify a series of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the comma. If you specify a range of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the hyphen (-).
EtherChannel ports cannot be configured as SPAN or RSPAN destination ports. A physical port that is a member of an EtherChannel group can be used as a destination port, but it cannot participate in the EtherChannel group while it is as a SPAN destination.
A private-VLAN port cannot be configured as a SPAN destination port.
A port used as a destination port cannot be a SPAN or RSPAN source, nor can a port be a destination port for more than one session at a time.
You can enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a port that is a SPAN or RSPAN destination port; however, IEEE 802.1x authentication is disabled until the port is removed as a SPAN destination. If IEEE 802.1x authentication is not available on the port, the switch returns an error message. You can enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.
If ingress traffic forwarding is enabled for a network security device, the destination port forwards traffic at Layer 2.
Destination ports can be configured to function in these ways:
-
When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id with no other keywords, egress encapsulation is untagged, and ingress forwarding is not enabled.
-
When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id ingress, egress encapsulation is untagged; ingress encapsulation depends on the keywords that follow—dot1q or untagged.
-
When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id encapsulation replicate with no other keywords, egress encapsulation replicates the source interface encapsulation; ingress forwarding is not enabled. (This applies to local SPAN only; RSPAN does not support encapsulation replication.)
-
When you enter monitor session session_number destination interface interface-id encapsulation replicate ingress, egress encapsulation replicates the source interface encapsulation; ingress encapsulation depends on the keywords that follow—dot1q or untagged. (This applies to local SPAN only; RSPAN does not support encapsulation replication.)
You can verify your settings by entering the show monitor privileged EXEC command. You can display SPAN, RSPAN, FSPAN, and FRSPAN configuration on the switch by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command. SPAN information appears near the end of the output.
Examples
This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source port 1 on stack member 1 to destination port 2 on stack member 2:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 both Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
This example shows how to delete a destination port from an existing local SPAN session:
Switch(config)# no monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
This example shows how to configure RSPAN source session 1 to monitor a source interface and to configure the destination RSPAN VLAN 900:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 900 Switch(config)# end
This example shows how to configure an RSPAN destination session 10 in the switch receiving the monitored traffic:
Switch(config)# monitor session 10 source remote vlan 900 Switch(config)# monitor session 10 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
This example shows how to configure the destination port for ingress traffic on VLAN 5 by using a security device that supports IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. Egress traffic replicates the source; ingress traffic uses IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation.
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 encapsulation dot1q ingress dot1q vlan 5
This example shows how to configure the destination port for ingress traffic on VLAN 5 by using a security device that does not support encapsulation. Egress traffic and ingress traffic are untagged.
Switch(config)# monitor session 2 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 ingress untagged vlan 5
monitor session filter
To start a new flow-based SPAN (FSPAN) session or flow-based RSPAN (FRSPAN) source or destination session, or to limit (filter) SPAN source traffic to specific VLANs, use the monitor session filter global configuration command. To remove filters from the SPAN or RSPAN session, use the no form of this command.
monitor session session-number filter { vlan vlan-id [ , | -] }
no monitor session session-number filter { vlan vlan-id [ , | -] }

However if this switch is stacked with Catalyst 2960-S switches, you are limited to a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions, and the range is 1 to 66.
You can monitor traffic on a single VLAN or on a series or range of ports or VLANs. You select a series or range of VLANs by using the [, | -] options.
If you specify a series of VLANs, you must enter a space before and after the comma. If you specify a range of VLANs, you must enter a space before and after the hyphen (-).
VLAN filtering refers to analyzing network traffic on a selected set of VLANs on trunk source ports. By default, all VLANs are monitored on trunk source ports. You can use the monitor session session_number filter vlan vlan-id command to limit SPAN traffic on trunk source ports to only the specified VLANs.
VLAN monitoring and VLAN filtering are mutually exclusive. If a VLAN is a source, VLAN filtering cannot be enabled. If VLAN filtering is configured, a VLAN cannot become a source.
You can verify your settings by entering the show monitor privileged EXEC command. You can display SPAN, RSPAN, FSPAN, and FRSPAN configuration on the switch by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command. SPAN information appears near the end of the output.
Examples
This example shows how to limit SPAN traffic in an existing session only to specific VLANs:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 filter vlan 100 - 110
This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source port 1 on stack member 1 to destination port 2 on stack member 2 and to filter IPv4 traffic using access list number 122 in an FSPAN session:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 both Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 Switch(config)# monitor session 1 filter ip access-group 122
monitor session source
To start a new Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) session or Remote SPAN (RSPAN) source session, or to add or delete interfaces or VLANs to or from an existing SPAN or RSPAN session, use the monitor session source global configuration command. To remove the SPAN or RSPAN session or to remove source interfaces from the SPAN or RSPAN session, use the no form of this command.
monitor session session_number source { interface interface-id [ , | -] [ both | rx | tx] | [ remote] vlan vlan-id [ , | -] [ both | rx | tx]}
no monitor session session_number source { interface interface-id [ , | -] [ both | rx | tx] | [ remote] vlan vlan-id [ , | -] [ both | rx | tx]}
Syntax Description
Command Default
No monitor sessions are configured.
On a source interface, the default is to monitor both received and transmitted traffic.
On a trunk interface used as a source port, all VLANs are monitored.

Usage Guidelines
Traffic that enters or leaves source ports or source VLANs can be monitored by using SPAN or RSPAN. Traffic routed to source ports or source VLANs cannot be monitored.
You can set a combined maximum of four local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions. You can have a total of 68 SPAN and RSPAN sessions on a switch or switch stack. However if this switch is stacked with Catalyst 2960-S switches, you are limited to a combined maximum of two local SPAN sessions and RSPAN source sessions, and the range is 1 to 66.
A source can be a physical port, a port channel, or a VLAN.
Each session can include multiple ingress or egress source ports or VLANs, but you cannot combine source ports and source VLANs in a single session. Each session can include multiple destination ports.
When you use VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) to analyze network traffic in a VLAN or set of VLANs, all active ports in the source VLANs become source ports for the SPAN or RSPAN session. Trunk ports are included as source ports for VSPAN, and only packets with the monitored VLAN ID are sent to the destination port.
You can monitor traffic on a single port or VLAN or on a series or range of ports or VLANs. You select a series or range of interfaces or VLANs by using the [, | -] options.
If you specify a series of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the comma. If you specify a range of VLANs or interfaces, you must enter a space before and after the hyphen (-).
You can monitor individual ports while they participate in an EtherChannel, or you can monitor the entire EtherChannel bundle by specifying the port-channel number as the RSPAN source interface.
A port used as a destination port cannot be a SPAN or RSPAN source, nor can a port be a destination port for more than one session at a time.
You can enable IEEE 802.1x authentication on a SPAN or RSPAN source port.
You can verify your settings by entering the show monitor privileged EXEC command. You can display SPAN, RSPAN, FSPAN, and FRSPAN configuration on the switch by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command. SPAN information appears near the end of the output.
Examples
This example shows how to create a local SPAN session 1 to monitor both sent and received traffic on source port 1 on stack member 1 to destination port 2 on stack member 2:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 both Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface gigabitethernet1/0/2
This example shows how to configure RSPAN source session 1 to monitor multiple source interfaces and to configure the destination RSPAN VLAN 900.
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet1/0/1 Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface port-channel 2 tx Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 900 Switch(config)# end

Usage Guidelines
SNMP notifications can be sent as traps or inform requests. Traps are unreliable because the receiver does not send acknowledgments when it receives traps. The sender cannot determine if the traps were received. However, an SNMP entity that receives an inform request acknowledges the message with an SNMP response PDU. If the sender never receives the response, the inform request can be sent again, so that informs are more likely to reach their intended destinations.
However, informs consume more resources in the agent and in the network. Unlike a trap, which is discarded as soon as it is sent, an inform request must be held in memory until a response is received or the request times out. Traps are also sent only once, but an inform might be retried several times. The retries increase traffic and contribute to a higher overhead on the network.
If you do not enter an snmp-server host command, no notifications are sent. To configure the switch to send SNMP notifications, you must enter at least one snmp-server host command. If you enter the command with no keywords, all trap types are enabled for the host. To enable multiple hosts, you must enter a separate snmp-server host command for each host. You can specify multiple notification types in the command for each host.
If a local user is not associated with a remote host, the switch does not send informs for the auth (authNoPriv) and the priv (authPriv) authentication levels.
When multiple snmp-server host commands are given for the same host and kind of notification (trap or inform), each succeeding command overwrites the previous command. Only the last snmp-server host command is in effect. For example, if you enter an snmp-server host inform command for a host and then enter another snmp-server host inform command for the same host, the second command replaces the first.
The snmp-server host command is used with the snmp-server enable traps global configuration command. Use the snmp-server enable traps command to specify which SNMP notifications are sent globally. For a host to receive most notifications, at least one snmp-server enable traps command and the snmp-server host command for that host must be enabled. Some notification types cannot be controlled with the snmp-server enable traps command. For example, some notification types are always enabled. Other notification types are enabled by a different command.
The no snmp-server host command with no keywords disables traps, but not informs, to the host. To disable informs, use the no snmp-server host informs command.
Examples
This example shows how to configure a unique SNMP community string named comaccess for traps and prevent SNMP polling access with this string through access-list 10:
Switch(config)# snmp-server community comaccess ro 10 Switch(config)# snmp-server host 172.20.2.160 comaccess Switch(config)# access-list 10 deny any
This example shows how to send the SNMP traps to the host specified by the name myhost.cisco.com. The community string is defined as comaccess:
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps Switch(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com comaccess snmp
This example shows how to enable the switch to send all traps to the host myhost.cisco.com by using the community string public:
Switch(config)# snmp-server enable traps Switch(config)# snmp-server host myhost.cisco.com public
You can verify your settings by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
