Gig Port config question

[ktmzak]

Hi Tek-tippsters

I have a customer that is having problems connecting his Sniffer to a Gig Port on a 6500 Series running native IOS 12.1 (8a)

I have looked through the documentation and am not able to find the way to disable port negotiation on the gig interface. Can anyone assist or send the command sequence used to perform this operation?

thanks in advance,

bill

Bill,

In the interface mode:

config term
interface gig1/1
switchport -> makes the port a Layer 2 port
switchport mode access -> turns off default port channel and trunking
switchport access vlan xyz ->sets the layer 2 vlan
no shut -> turns the interface up.

Also,

With the new 6509 code you must set two span commands each referencing the sam e span session.

What I mean is that your first command sets the source of the spann and the second sets the destination. This can't be done with one command anymore....

thanks,

Lee
