SPAN: Switched Port Analyzer
Switched Port Analyzer(SPAN) is a feature of many managed switches that extends the monitoring capabilities of existing network analyzers into a switched Ethernet environment. SPAN mirrors the traffic at one switched segment onto a predefined SPAN port. A network analyzer attached to the SPAN port can monitor traffic from any of the other switched ports.
