Local SPAN Overview

A local SPAN session is an association of source ports and source VLANs with one or more destinations. You configure a local SPAN session on a single switch. Local SPAN does not have separate source and destination sessions. Local SPAN sessions do not copy locally sourced RSPAN VLAN traffic from source trunk ports that carry RSPAN VLANs. Local SPAN sessions do not copy locally sourced RSPAN GRE-encapsulated traffic from source ports. Each local SPAN session can have either ports or VLANs as sources, but not both. Local SPAN copies traffic from one or more source ports in any VLAN or from one or more VLANs to a destination for analysis (see Figure 41-1). For example, as shown in Figure 41-1, all traffic on Ethernet port 5 (the source port) is copied to Ethernet port 10. A network analyzer on Ethernet port 10 receives all traffic from Ethernet port 5 without being physically attached to Ethernet port 5. Figure 41-1 Example SPAN Configuration
