The note about setting the SPAN receive port to smartports role "Other" saved me a bunch of time. I didn't understand the error messages that kept on popping up when attempting to configure SPAN. As soon as I changed the role to Other, my SPAN config worked and I was able to capture traces.
As you mention, once a port is assigned a role of Other, the port cannot be used for regular network traffic. If like me, readers use their computer to make this change to Other, they will immediately lose network connectivity and can no longer manage the switch.
I now use 2 ports on a 24-port ESW-540. Port 1 for Wireshark traces and port 13 which is directly below port 1, for normal use.
My computer is connected to port 13 for normal work and I setup everything for a trace, then move my computer's LAN cable to port 1 to start tracing. Once done, I move back to port 13.
Hello, even though this post is over 5 years old, it helped me today! However, when I tried to change my destination port, there was some other port 'stuck' in that field.
I changed the destination port properties on g19 to 'other'. I then deleted any existing span configuration, did a save, and when I tried to add dest port g19 the old span port was still there, and I was unable to modify. So I moved my laptop to port 22 and did a capture from there. (the "unmodifyable" existing destination port)
I was able to get only partial config from the switch. There were errors on trying to download the configuration, and the file kept coming thru same file size, only partial config. but here it is:

Thank you for the effort however there is nothing about port 19 which is the object of our discussion. What I would like to recommend you to delete all VLANs from the port 19, leave only VLAN 1 untagged and PVID untagged and try to make change. Near in mind port which is a SPAN port is excluded from network traffic so your PC on port 19 cannot be used to make those changes.
I hope it helps a bit :-)
