Hi

Thnx for the link
What I understand from :

Source ports can be in the same or different VLANs.

is that when one is creating SPAN session ; there can be multiple source
ports and these multiple source ports can be in diff vlan as well.

With all respect to ur experience ; I seriously dont know why we allow one
vlan traffic to be mirrored out to a port which is in different vlan .
I am asking only for Local SPAN session .
