problem with monitor sess N5K

[antilope1]

Hi everybody, 

I have configured a monitor session on a Nexus5K and the result is: 

Nx5k_1# sh monitor sess all
   session 1
---------------
type              : local
state             : down (No operational src/dst)
source intf       : 
    rx            : Po110         
    tx            : Po110         
    both          : Po110         
source VLANs      : 
    rx            : 
source VSANs      : 
    rx            : 
destination ports : Eth1/6        

Legend: f = forwarding enabled, l = learning enabled

Does anybody know why it is not running? What means "No operational src/dst)"?

Configuration of destination interface: 

interface Ethernet1/6
  switchport monitor

Thank you very much!!!!

Hello,

Is both source Po110 and destination porte1/6 up? can you check the status of them.

If yes, can you please try appliying the same configuration for span once again?

Thanks

Hello Madhukrishnan, 

Yes, finally I found what was happening.... It was just the destination interface was not up because of the sfp... but when I configured it right (speed), interface got up and status came to a correct state. I forgot to explain what was happening and that now it is solved. 

You were right about if it was the interface status... it was! 

Thank you very much!!
