SPAN port on Cat 4006

Hi Group,

I am trying to setup a SPAN port on a Cisco Cat 4006 running CATOS, however when I establish the SPAN port it shuts of the interface so I can no longer ping the device. Is this normal behavior or am I missing something?

Like disables the source port? Please paste the config line and show span commands.

Hi Trendkill,

What I am trying to do, is have a host sniff all traffic on a common VLAN, all hosts are on VLAN 1.

So I enter;

set span 1 2/47 Overwrote Port 2/47 to monitor transmit/receive traffic of VLAN 1 Incoming Packets disabled. Learning enabled. (enable)

So the port is now listening but it disables incoming packets so I can not remotely connect to the host sniffing the network. Would I just be better off adding a 2nd NIC card and be down with it?

(enable) sh span

Destination : Port 2/47 Admin Source : VLAN 1 Oper Source : Port 2/1-12,2/14-29,2/31-38,2/43-46,2/48,3/19,3/47 Direction : transmit/receive Incoming Packets: disabled Learning : enabled Filter : - Status : active

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Total local span sessions: 1 (enable)

#switch port analyzer set span 1 2/47 both inpkts disable learning enable create

Thanks for the help...

Chad

Yes, thats normal SPAN behavior. You don't want remote access packets being mixed in with your monitored port data do you???
