I am looking for some assistance setting up port monitoring on a 2960 switch via a web interface. I have setup port monitoring on other Cisco switches and believe I used the web interface to do so as I am not familiar with the CLI. However, I went all throught the 2960 web interface and found no reference to port monitoring, port mirrorring or SPAN. I am using Colasoft Capsa network monitoring software and want to view all the lan/wan/internet traffic.
Thank you in advance.
You use the 'monitor' command on those I believe:
TNX for response. I see that I can configure this with CLI but I was hoping to set it up with the Web Interface as I am not familiar with the CLI.
The CLI is pretty straightforward. I get the idea that not too many people here use the web thing.
All you need to type is
en
conf t monitor session 1 source interface Fa0/2 monitor session 1 destination interface Fa0/5 end
sw02>enable !! Do password stuff sw02#config terminal Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNT sw02(config)#mon sess 1 sou ? interface SPAN source interface
!!! get some help sw02(config)#mon sess 1 sou int fa 0/2 ? , Specify another range of interfaces - Specify a range of interfaces both Monitor received and transmitted traffic rx Monitor received traffic only tx Monitor transmitted traffic only
sw02(config)#mon sess 1 sou int fa 0/2 both sw02(config)#mon sess 1 dest int fa 0/5 ?
sw02(config)#mon sess 1 dest int fa 0/5 sw02(config)#end
sw02#sh mon sess 1 Session 1
--------- Source Ports: RX Only: None TX Only: None Both: Fa0/2 Destination Ports: Fa0/5
sw02#
sw02#sh run | inc session monitor session 1 source interface Fa0/2 monitor session 1 destination interface Fa0/5 sw02#
!! To save over reboot sw02# copy running-config startu
All you need to type is
en conf t monitor session 1 source interface Fa0/2 monitor session 1 destination interface Fa0/5 end
To turn off:
en conf t no mon sess 1 end
How hard is that?
