• Disable all functions for the collections you want to turn off.
If you turn off collections that have reports running on them,
the collections will automatically be turned on.

Selecting NAM-1/2 Data Sources to Configure
For the Catalyst 6500 Series NAM 1/2, the following data sources are available for configuration:
• ALL SPAN - ALLSPAN is a pull-down list option that enables you to aggregate all the VLANs that are part of
your SPAN / VACL data source. The pull-down lists just the VLANs that it discovers as part of your SPAN /
VACL source. Applying data collection to the ALLSPAN option will aggregate all VLAN data into a single
data source—ALLSPAN. Configuring ALLSPAN alone for data collection will not provides statistics on a per-
VLAN basis.
• VLANs - If you want to view statistics on a per-VLAN basis, you must choose each VLAN, one by one, and
check each data collection function you want for each VLAN.
• MPLS - If you want to view statistics on a per-MPLS basis, you must choose each MPLS, one by one, and
check each data collection function you want for each MPLS.
• ERSPAN
•NETFLOW
• NDE – Configure per NetFlow reporting device
• Supervisor – Mini-RMON and VLAN statistics sent directly to the NAM for reporting
Note(s):
• Spanned data sources are enabled by VLAN even if what was spanned was a single port. In order to view
traffic for that port, determine which VLAN that port is a member of and enable monitoring for that VLAN.
