Rule based span on Nexus 7000

[Joris Deprouw]

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure rule based span on my Nexus 7000.

I want to monitor some vlans, but limit the traffic going to my monitor station by using frame-type ipv4 filter.

The link below explains how to configure it, but my nexus doesn't recognise the command "mode extended".

Am I missing something? I'm running version 6.1.3.

Thanks,

Joris

NEXUS(config)# monitor session 1

NEXUS(config-monitor)# mode extended

                                   ^

% Invalid command at '^' marker.

NEXUS(config-monitor)# mode ?

*** No matching command found in current mode, matching in (exec) mode ***

  connect  Notify system on modem connection

  restart  Reenabling modem port

Hi Joris,

The rule based SPAN filtering was not introduced until NX-OS 6.2 so will not be available to you with NX-OS 6.1(3).

See the section SPAN in the NX-OS 6.2 release notes.
