Has there ever been a know case where a span port on a 2960-x has been hacked or passed walware/viruses from the untrusted network side. I know that span ports are by default unidirectional but I am trying to prove to my security analyst that is safe. I want to hand-off a span port for upd capture to a separate network.

not sure where is this context come from
SPAN Means sniff the traffic - not injecting the traffic in to device.

Disregard the last sentence for my wording may be wrong, the question is, has there ever been a case where a span port has been hacked or passed malware from the untrusted network side of that port. I have built a span port for an out-of-network recorder and want to make sure there is no chance of being hacked or sent malware/viruses from that network back thru the span port.
