Usage Guidelines

Once the monitor-profile command is entered, you must configure the source and destination IP addresses. The source IP can be any port on the router. The destination IP is the port on the destination host.

This command is not supported for RUCKUS ICX 7150 and ICX 8100 devices.

The no form of the command deletes the ERSPAN profile.

Examples

The following example configures an ERSPAN profile. This profile sends mirrored traffic from a port on switch 2.2.2.2 to the host 1.1.1.1. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# monitor-profile 1 type erspan
device(config-monitor-profile 1)# source-ip 2.2.2.2
device(config-monitor-profile 1)# destination-ip 1.1.1.1
device(config-monitor-profile 1)# exit

The following example modifies the destination host in an ERSPAN profile. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# monitor-profile 1 type erspan
device(config-monitor-profile 1)# no destination-ip 1.1.1.1
device(config-monitor-profile 1)# destination-ip 3.3.3.3
device(config-monitor-profile 1)# exit

The following example deletes an ERSPAN profile. 

device# configure terminal
device(config)# no monitor-profile 1
