Configuring Fibre Channel Analyzers Using SPAN
To configure Fibre Channel Analyzers using SPAN for the example in
Configure SPAN on interface fc1/1 in the ingress (Rx) direction to send traffic on SD port fc2/1 using
Step 1
session 1.
Configure SPAN on interface fc1/1in the egress (Tx) direction to send traffic on SD port fc2/2 using
Step 2
session 2.
Physically connect fc2/1 to port 1 on the Fibre Channel analyzer.
Step 3
Step 4
Physically connect fc2/2 to port 2 on the Fibre Channel analyzer.
To configure SPAN on the source and destination interfaces, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# span session 1
switch(config-span)#
Step 3
switch(config-span)## destination interface fc2/1
Step 4
switch(config-span)# source interface fc1/1 rx
Step 5
switch(config)# span session 2
switch(config-span)#
Step 6
switch(config-span)## destination interface fc2/2
Step 7
switch(config-span)# source interface fc1/1 tx
