Nexus 7700 RSPAN session limit per VDC

[VITO PAVLIN]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how many (R)SPAN sessions can be active per VDC on Nexus 7700? I did find how many sessions can be active per system, but nor VDC.

Hi span sessions are a global resource theres 2 per system , its not per VDC if you use them in one you cant use them in another

Another example is SPAN. There are two SPAN sessions available for the switch. Both VDC A and VDC B can configure a SPAN session as "monitor session 1"; however, internal to the hardware they are recognized as different SPAN sessions. This is again as a direct result of SPAN being managed as a global resource. As with the link bundle example above, once these two sessions are consumed, there are no more SPAN sessions available for other VDCs.

That was quick :)

Thank you.
