Span Ports on Catalyst 2950

[gfiguereo]

Hi

i have the following situation:

I have an span port configured on 1 port of the switch to monitor all the others ports.The device that's connected to the span port needs to be accesible. I need to connect to this server by the ip address that it has configured.

Can i access this device with the Span port that is configured simultaneously ?

or there are other solutions??

The 2950 supports only a single SPAN session and it can be for all ports on the device excluding the destination port. So I guess you would not be able to span the server connected on the destination port. Take a look at this document for the concepts.
