Connect Span Ports to Director
To connect Director to the network using Span ports, be sure that at least one of your DNMs is a Span model. Use ports
in that DNM to connect to the network.
Span port numbering is shown in the following diagram. It is the same for Span DNMs and in-line DNMs.

Port numbering for Span DNM modelsFigure 18:
Note: __________________________________________________________________________________________________
DNM 1 is on the left and DNM 2 is on the right. In the CLI, the Network ports are designated using the letter "n"
followed by the DNM number, a dot, and then the port number. For example, the Network port on the upper left is n1.1
and the Network port on the lower right is n2.12.
