Hi,

You can configure a trunk port as a source port. By default, all VLANs active on the trunk are monitored. You can limit SPAN traffic monitoring on trunk source ports to specific VLANs by using VLAN filtering. Only switched traffic in the selected VLANs is sent to the destination port. This feature affects only traffic forwarded to the destination SPAN port and does not affect the switching of normal traffic.
