Network Analyse Module NAM 2 in Cat 6500/IOS

m.suender · ‎08-01-2008

Hi,

I have installed a Network Analysis Module (NAM2) in a catalyst 6500.

After this I saw with "sh monitor session" a session 1 / Type Service Modul Session". Depending on this I am only able to configure two more sessions,

when I want to configure a third session for capturing traffic on the NAM I got an error message, that this is not possible. The documentation means that I can configure two span ports for traffic capturing, but depending on the first automatically created session it does not work, because all together I have three sessions. Has anyone an idea, how I can get my two session for NAM capturing and for what is the first session ?

Regards Mike

I have no idea about service module session!

I'm running 12.2(18)SXD7b. I think I had a session 1 when I installed the NAM in slot 9.
