Connection Errors Once Mirroring is configured

Meri_Christmas
Level 1
Level 1

I am working on mirroring a port that is connected to a network analyzer (called Pondurance). The error shows up on the management port of the analyzer itself but I'm checking to make sure my config is correct. It's just a basic local config that I've done before but this mirroring will be done on a catalyst 2960 48p switch which is connected to a 5506x asa. I keep the firmware up to date on both devices.

I am mirroring a the source port that is connected to our firewall.

switch(config)#>monitor session 1 source int Gi1/0/1

switch(config)#>monitor session 1 destination int Gi1/0/2

#show monitor
Session 1
---------
Type : Local Session
Source Ports :
Both : Gi1/0/1
Destination Ports : Gi1/0/2
Encapsulation : Native
Ingress : Disable

Once I set up span, immediately the analyzer status shows "not connected". It's connected until I set this up.

I know the port line shuts down because of monitoring but I have not had this happen where the connection gives errors like this.

What can I check? Can I get some direction on what to look for?

Thank you for your response and apologies for the delayed reply. 

I "inherited" this switch I will either swap it out for a 3850 or reconfigure it, since it was orginally part of a stack.

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2  - is this port your analyser connected

reset to default and test it

default interface GigabitEthernet1/0/2

Thank you. I connected analyzer.  I reset the port to default, then did a show:

I checked the console on the network analyzer and it was connected. No problem.

I then configured the span port gig1/0/2 and once again I got a connection error on the analyzer's console.

I removed monitoring from the port so now the port has the default configuration.
