Add "RsDestPathEp" option for aci_tenant_span_src_group_src module

Module aci_tenant_span_src_group_src currently supports only adding EPG as the source (RsDestEpg) - please add the option for having a specific port as a source (RsDestPathEp) as well

Hi @djordjevulovic,

M(aci_tenant_span_src_group_src) does not support 'RsDestPathEp' because the source group and source are specific to tenant configuration of SPAN ( Tenant SPAN ).

In the SPAN guide you can find the following information.

Cisco ACI has three types of SPAN; Fabric SPAN, Tenant SPAN and Access SPAN. The difference between each SPANs is the source of copy packets.

Fabric SPAN is to capture packets that come in and go out from interfaces between Leaf and Spine switches.
Access SPAN is to capture packets that come in and go out from interfaces between Leaf switches and external devices.
Tenant SPAN is to capture packets that come in and go out from EndPoint Group (EPG) on ACI Leaf switches.

This SPAN name corresponds to where to be configured on Cisco ACI GUI.

Fabric SPAN is configured under Fabric > Fabric Policies
Access SPAN is configured under Fabric > Access Policies
Tenant SPAN is configured under Tenants > {each tenant}

The class 'RsDestPathEp' is configurable under both Fabric and Access SPAN ( in the collection these types are not yet supported ), which type are you trying to configure?

Hi @djordjevulovic,

Repeating in case you missed my question:

The class 'RsDestPathEp' is configurable under both Fabric and Access SPAN ( in the collection these types are not yet supported ), which type are you trying to configure?

Hi @djordjevulovic,

Which type are you trying to configure?

We created #422 to track Fabric SPAN and we are using #311 to track Access SPAN. This on top of the existing Tenant SPAN will cover all SPAN use cases.

We are closing this issue as we have not heard back and we are covered with the other more specific requests.
