We have 4x1G Etherchannel on trunk and for troubleshooting i want to monitor one of its physical port.

Age of the Port-channel   = 8d:08h:08m:05s
Logical slot/port   = 12/99          Number of ports = 4
HotStandBy port = null
Port state          = Port-channel Ag-Inuse

Ports in the Port-channel:

That is what I've found:

Can You Configure SPAN on an EtherChannel Port?

An EtherChannel does not form if one of the ports in the bundle is a SPAN destination port. If you try to configure SPAN in this situation, the switch tells you: Channel port cannot be a Monitor Destination Port Failed to configure span feature You can use a port in an EtherChannel bundle as a SPAN source port.
