Hello,

That is platform HW restriction:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12.2/15.02SG/configuration/guide/span.html#wp1020415

"SPAN is limited to one destination port per session."

HTH,

Hi,

So you are saying that the 3560 switch can do multiple destination ports and our newer 4506 switch can only do 1 destination port? How can we SPAN it to multiple destination port like the 3560 with only one source vlan ? We were told from a cisco rep that it can handle at least 8 destination port for SPAN.

This is our monitor session for our 3560:

====================================

Session 1

---------

Type                   : Local Session

Source VLANs           :

    RX Only            : 2034-2035

Destination Ports      : Gi0/43

    Encapsulation      : Native

          Ingress      : Disabled

Session 2

---------

Type                   : Local Session

Source VLANs           :

    RX Only            : 2035

Destination Ports      : Gi0/8,Gi0/23,Gi0/25,Gi0/27,Gi0/31,Gi0/47

    Encapsulation      : Native

          Ingress      : Disabled

==============================

Thanks
