How to configure port monitoring (SPAN) on a CRS-8/S device ?

vincent.lee · ‎08-27-2012

Need to setup sniffer to capture a L3 port..Is there any equivalent command on CRS-8/S as 65xx can use monitor session xx to do...?

I know in 65Xx switch there is monitor session command available...

For example..

MUMMCVS08w02 (Config)# monitor session 1 source interface Gi1/18 ( The interface need to plug in sniffer )

MUMMCVS08w02 (Config)# monitor session 1 destination interface Gi1/44

Partial show version as below..

Hello Vincent,

CRS has no SPAN capabilities, according to some threads in the forums the only IOS XR device with SPAN capabilities should be ASR 9000.

I'm sorry to give you bad news

Hope to help
