Is there a way to span a port on Catalyst 2950 to multiple ports?
Hello all Experts!
I am trying to span one single port to many ports, that is to say that i would like to have 1 source port and many destination ports. I understand this is only done via a VLAN scenario where you set the source port to feed it to a VLAN.
I think that Catalyst 2950 does not support more than one monitor session.
Please let me know if I am incorrect.
Thank you!

Actually, I'm pretty sure you can have 2 SPAN sessions on the 2950. The same source port can be used in both sessions to different destination ports.

JFrederick29,
Here is my dump from the sh run. I am not sure this will work as session 2 does not have a source port. If i put source port on session 2 it tells me that Fa0/15 is already configure as source.
The only thing i can try doing is setting session 2 to have a source port of Fa0/14 and destination of Fa0/12.
!
monitor session 1 source interface Fa0/15
monitor session 1 destination interface Fa0/14
monitor session 2 destination interface Fa0/12
end

Sorry missed a comment...
Here is the error i get when i try to add another destination port in session 1
ADMSW03(config)#monitor session 1 destination interface Fa0/12
Platform only supports a maximum of 1 destination/reflector port(s) in a source
Thank you,

So what are my options at this point?
Unfortunately, it sounds like not to many unless you have a 4500 or 6500 that you could do the SPAN on. It appears only one SPAN session is allowed on the 2950 and you can only have one destination port in a SPAN session.
