Cisco Switching/Routing :: 6509 - Doing IDS Via SPAN Ports
Dec 13, 2011
I am hoping you can provide me with some opinions, feedback, thoughts on the following. We have some Cisco 6509 switches in our environment currently hitting around 60% usage on the Router overall statistics.
Now we are looking at implementing an intrusion detection system but by being as least invasive as possible to the network. Our thoughts are to utilize a SPAN port on the switches to send traffic to the NIDS device but we have concerns of the following. The limitations of SPAN sessions on 6509's . The overhead on the switch of turning a SPAN session on and leaving it on permanently.

I am in the early planning stages for a 6509 to Nexus 7K migration. Based on my experience with the 7K's at a previous company where we ran into a lot of issues, I am trying to be very careful.
I am more at home with the 6500 chassis and know what I can do with them. I remember running into a limitation on the Nexus that involved their not supporting span sessions like the 6500's do. Is that still the case ?
If that isnt an option in the short term, I will need to look at a substantial investment in ethernet tap's to replace the lost span functionality because the security group's heavy use of span sessions.

what the usb ports are used for on the supervisor cards?
I want to back up my file system, can I use a USB stick in the USB port to do this ? or are they for console use ?

I have a Cisco 6509 with IOS "s222-ipservicesk9_wan-mz.122-18.SXF16.bin"I need to enable dot1x on user's ports on the switch. each user is connected to the switch through the IP phone.
I just found out that I can not enabled dot1x on trunk port. I have tried to use "switchport voice vlan " but I got:
Switch(config-if)#switchport voice vlan 123
Command rejected: Gi7/20 is Dot1x enabled port.
let me know what should I do to get dot1x working?
Note: I have connected a laptop directly to the port and dot1x is working fine.

I am trying to configure RSPAN for one of my client. They have Server-Client VTP architecture. Voice Recording Server is connected to C4507. Agents are connected to C2960 and C3750. I got 2 sessions configured and the connectivity is a as follows:
1. Voice Recording Server-----C4507-----C2960-----C2960-----Agent IP Phones (Session 1)
2. Voice Recording Server-----C4507-----C3750-----Agent IP Phones (Session 2)
Recording works with Session-2 but not with Session-1. I understand the problem could be due to multiple reasons: 1.1. C2960 is working in client VTP mode so i cannot add remote span command under the vlan configuration. 1.2. C2960 has LANLITE IOS image which i am not sure if it supports Remote Span.

I have CISCO catalyst with VLANs (VLAN ID 33, 36, 40-53) configured. I need to configure port mirroring in Switch 3750 for NAC (Network Access Control). I need to Monitor all the VLANs. Here is the SPAN configuration of switch: [code] Monitor session 1 source vlan 33 , 36 , 40 – 53.Monitor Session 1 destination interface fa 1/0/8 (here I am not able to set encapsulation dot1q ) because the error occurred saying %one or more dest port do not support the encapsulation%.

I currently have IOS image cat4500e-entservices-mz.122-53.SG5.bin. According to my research it appears SPAN is supported on this OS. However, after looking at procedure notes using websites like here:
[url]... I cannot find and obviously not figure out how to use the SPAN command. My main objective is to simply setup a port mirror on one of my TenGigabitEthnet interfaces and from what I read SPAN is the best way to setup a tap interface on a cisco switch.

Been dealing with a strange problem for several days now. It started out with a problem that I thought was VTP related but ended up being something else. I setup a span port on a 3750 that I am connected to that was mirroring the trunk connection coming into the switch.
Never saw an VTP traffic come across the connection but doing a sh vtp status indicated the traffic was arriving and getting processed. When I found some debug commands (debug sw-lan vtp), I was also able to see the packets go between switches. Seeing this issue concerns me that there is other traffic that isnt showing up during a span session.
I know that doing a span on a switch, especially using a trunk port as a source, isnt a good idea. Since I didnt have a TAP at time, this was my only choice. I have since borrowed a NetOptics TP-CU3 tap from a good friend and was able to confirm the VTP traffic was going across the trunk connection between switches.
All of my 3750's are running 12.2.55.SE.

I have a Cisco 881 router running 15.1(4)M4. I am trying to configure SPAN on it to mirror my outside interface (source) to one of my LAN interfaces (dest).
!--- WAN interface
interface FastEthernet4
description Comcast WAN$ETH-WAN$
[Code]......
As you can see from the above output there is a problem with the command on this interface. When I try to set Fa0 as my source it works fine:
rtr(config)#mon session 1 source int fastEthernet 0
rtr(config)#
Is this because fa4 is layer 3 and fa0 is a switchport? If so, is there another way to set fa4 as the source?

I have a need to capture some traffic but my core 6513's are already using the limit of 2 span sessions. I can't edit any of the sessions either because I want to source traffic from vlans and you can only do one or the other. Is using a VACL with 'switchport capture' on the destination interface an option ? E.g. I want to source traffic from vlan 10,20,30,40 and send the all to interface Gi10/10 ? Is there any caveats ? I dont need to be too granular with the ACL's but just capture all traffic in those vlans.

I've learned recently that the Nexus 7000 only allows the configuration of a maximum of 2 Monitor sessions for spanning traffic. I only have one monitor session left and I need to do the following. 2 Core Nexus 7000 boxes with 2 different traffic probes/sniffers to each nexus( eg Sniffer 1 connects to Switch A on interface eth 1 and to Switch B on eth 1 ; Sniffer 2 connects to Switch A on eth 2 and to Switch B on eth 2.) My plan was to setup a standard session with multiple sources and destinations then on the interfaces connecting to the sniffers run a trunk and do 'sw trunk allowed xxxxx' and filter what I need to go to each sniffer box. However I've recently found out that some of my source traffic is coming from Port-Channel interfaces. Is there a way I can get around this and still do the filtering within only 1 monitor session ?

I'm trying to configure a mirror port on a 3750. This configuration needs to replicate data from local ports, but I need that also act as a regular access port.
With the initial configuration, SPAN port, there is no problem, all the data of the configurated ports is replicating in the configurated port. On the port configurated as mirror there is a PC connected for audio recording. When the port is not operating as SPAN there is communications without problem over the LAN. But when I configure the port as SPAN, communication is interrupted.
Here is the actual configuration:
SWITCH1-PISO7#sh monitor session 1
Session 1
---------
Type : Local Session

I have a single Nexus 7K (6.x) with only F2 modules and I would like to SPAN the same source interfaces and vlans to mulitple destination servers (interfaces). When configuring SPAN to a single destination traffic gets replicated successfully but when I add an additional destination to the same SPAN session then none of the destination interfaces receive any traffic. As soon as modify the SPAN to include only a single destination interface it works again. I'm guess this is a limitation of the Nexus 7K 6.x code or the F2 modules.

I'm trying to configure a SPAN session on a Cisco 3725 router, but it won't let me complete the command. The router has two Fast Ethernet interfaces: 0/0 and 0/1. I'm trying to configure a SPAN session with Fa0/0 as the source interface and Fa0/1 as the destination interface. [code] But when I try to configure the session, it seems like it's giving me the option to configure the SPAN session, but in the end the router won't let me: [code] When I type "?", why would it give me the option of using the Fast Ethernet interface as source port, then when I try to execute the command, it doesn't like it?

I have two servers, connected on two(Different) 6513 directly connected switches. Both these servers are in the same Vlan.
I have to monitor communication these two servers. I have a system connected on one of the 6513 switch, where network tool wireshark is installed.
How to configure span port.
switch 6513-1# show run int Gi10/43 --------------------Server 1 is connected
switch 6513-2# show run int Gi9/45 ------------------------Server 2 is connected
switch 6513-2# show run int Gi9/46 ------------------------System on which network tool wireshark is installed.

I have configured Span port on our 4510. We have an application 5view server to monitor trafic connected to G9/17 Since we have changed the network connection from physical Giga port and add a Port-channel instead, we don't see any more trafic from the new Port-channel to G9/17
We have the configuration below on our 4510 :
monitor session 1 source interface Gi4/6
monitor session 1 source interface Po20
monitor session 1 filter vlan 311 - 312 , 375
monitor session 1 destination interface Gi9/17
From the commands show, we don't see the trafic duplication from the source to the destination port :
Port Source
4510-5567#sh int po20
Port-channel20 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is EtherChannel, address is 0016.9de2.a818 (bia 0016.9de2.a818)

I read quite a few documents on configuring SPAN on a cisco switch but none of them mention any limitations or any kind of CPU load it can have on a switch. I need to configure this on one of our switches and would like to know if there are any implications related to SPAN.

In s SPAN session , normally the destination prt is used for monitoring purpose only. But could destination port be used to access the equipement or PC connected to that port , for a 2960 LAN BASE image switch .

On a Catalyst 6500, we configured a SPAN session with VLAN 300 as a source. We configured the session bi-directional ("both" keyword). We connect a sniffer on the SPAN destination port.
Strangely enough, we only see the traffic from the VRF to the firewall, but not the reverse traffic ! What can be the problem ?

I have pair of 5596 switches in vPC. One host say "HOST A" is connected to the primary vPC peer and other "HOST B" on secondary vPC peer.Both are in same VLAN 10. Both hosts are vpc orphan ports as their NIC is configured in active/standby mode.I have configured span session on both vPC peers with span source as VLAN 10 in rx mode.Span destination is connected to secondary vPC peer. The issue here is that I am not able to capture the traffic originating from HOST A destined to HOST B which is traversing vPC peer-link.Same issue occurs for the traffic in reverse way and span destination on primary vPC peer. In a nutshell, any traffic which crosses vPC peer-link is not getting captured.
What could be the issue and is there any solution for it. Below mentioned is the span config and relevant interfaces. [code]
