[c-nsp] 6500 with SUP720 SPAN questions, Again...

[Tim Stevenson]

Only two are supported today (more tx-direction only sessions are on the 
roadmap, but far out), and NAM does not buy you any additional sessions.

But, depending on the s/w ver you are running (18SXD or later), you can 
configure multiple span dest ports like this:

interface GigabitEthernet1/1
  switchport
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 10
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport nonegotiate

interface GigabitEthernet1/2
  switchport
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 11
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport nonegotiate

interface GigabitEthernet1/3
  switchport
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 12
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport nonegotiate

interface GigabitEthernet1/4
  switchport
  switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
  switchport trunk allowed vlan 13
  switchport mode trunk
  switchport nonegotiate


And then configure a single SPAN session like so:

mon ses 1 source vlan 10 - 13
mon ses 1 dest int gig 1/1 - 4

This ends up spanning just vlan 10 traffic to int gig 1/1, just vlan 11 
traffic to int gig 1/2, etc.


HTTH,
Tim
