Nexus 5K SPAN source

[rubberheart]

Hi Team , 

I need your help to verify if N5K SPAN source can mix with VLANs and Interfaces,

N7K doc said it is ok, but I never tried, also I don't find doc side N5K can do this 

example 

monitor session 1 source vlan500, e104/1/2

monitor session 1 destination e1/9

is those gonna work?

THX

Thanks a lot

Hi

5k doc says you can mix with multiple vlans as source so no reason it wouldnt work with vlan and interface

Characteristics of Source Ports

A source port, also called a monitored port, is a switched interface that you monitor for network traffic analysis. The switch supports any number of ingress source ports (up to the maximum number of available ports on the switch) and any number of source VLANs or VSANs.

A source port has these characteristics:

• Can be of any port type: Ethernet, Fibre Channel, virtual Fibre Channel, port channel, SAN port channel, VLAN, and VSAN.
• Cannot be monitored in multiple SPAN sessions.
• Cannot be a destination port.
• Each source port can be configured with a direction (ingress, egress, or both) to monitor. For VLAN, VSAN, port channel, and SAN port channel sources, the monitored direction can only be ingress and applies to all physical ports in the group. The rx/tx option is not available for VLAN or VSAN SPAN sessions.
• Source ports can be in the same or different VLANs or VSANs.
• For VLAN or VSAN SPAN sources, all active ports in the source VLAN or VSAN are included as source ports.
• The switch supports a maximum of two egress SPAN source ports
