Hi,

I would like to configure SPAN in one of our Cisco Catalyst 2950 24 switch, but the IOS I downloaded doesn't support SPAN even though it is written in its feature description. Here is the IOS:  c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA13.bin.

Here is the output of the show version:

When I enter into the interface configuration mode, there is no "port monitor" command. Here is the output:

Please could someone tell me what is the problem with this.

Thank you.

You need to use the global commands

monitor session x source interface

montior session x destination interface

where x is the span session number and the applicable interfaces follow, you can also specify direction after the interface number
