Hi Balaji,

 

Thanks for your response.

I have tried to configure with referring the same document. the problem here is the same VLAN needs to add in monitor and need to call multiple destination ports. 

since below are limitations on nexus switches
"You can configure only one destination port in a SPAN session"
"A VLAN can be part of only one session when it is used as a SPAN source or filter"

Looks that is limitation. raise an TAC case for feature request (there is one i guess i can not remember now)

How to Ask The Cisco Community for Help

Hello
This is down to the platform of the switch, span sessions vary on the switch platform, even within nexus that's why it is recommended best to review cisco documentation before migration to another switch be it cisco or another.
