nexus span session

[Mary]

I configured below span session in Nexus 1000v:

monitor session 2

source interface e2/1-2

source vlan 3,6-8 tx

filter vlan 3-5,7

destination int E2/5

is the above configuration correct?

Hi 

Yes but filter should be used if you are monitoring for example a trunk so it will monitor only the vlans configured passing through it, also please check these links:

Please rate the comment if it is useful

so the source e2/1-2 must be trunk? can the destination port in the other slot, for example ge3/0/1 rather than ge2/0/5(not e2/5, we are using nexus)? thanks

Hi

if you have a interface trunk and many vlans are passing through it but you want to monitor only certain vlans, you should include on the span session the filter command.
