Is it Possible to SPAN the CPU of 6509-E running VSS ?

[Shlomy Maron]

Hi,

I was wondering - is there a way to SPAN the CPU of 6509-E running s2t54-adventerprisek9-mz.SPA.150-1.SY6

with SUP - WS-F6K-DFC4-E

please help.

Hi

Not sure you can SPAN it but you can use a netdr capture for 6500 cpu

Yeah,

two ways :

1- debug netdr capture rx

2- SPAN config:-

Cisco IOS Release 12.2(18)SXF

6500#monitor session 1 source interface <mod/port> 
!Use any dummy interface that is administratively shut down.

6500#monitor session 1 destination interface <mod/port> 
! interface with PC running wireshark attached 

6500#remote login switch

6500-sp#test monitor add 1 rp-inband tx

Cisco IOS Releases 12.2(33)SXH and Later

6500(config)# monitor session 1 type local 

6500(config-mon-local)# source cpu rp tx 

6500(config-mon-local)# destination interface <mod/port>
! interface with PC running wireshark attached

6500(config-mon-local)# no shut

This configuration mirrors traffic on the SP-RP inband path, and diverts it to the destination interface. Connect a PC on the destination interface, and start the sniffer application (Wireshark, for example) in order to capture traffic received on the Network Interface Card (NIC).
