The abstraction of a SPAN source. A SPAN source is where traffic is sampled. A SPAN source can be an endpoint group (EPG), one or more ports, or port traffic filtered by an EPG (Access SPAN), a Layer 2 bridge domain, or a Layer 3 context (Fabric SPAN). When you create a traffic monitoring session, you must select a SPAN source and a SPAN destination. The type of session (Tenant, Access or fabric) determines the allowed types of SPAN sources and destinations. The destination can be either a port or an EPG. If the destination is a port, it should not be one that has been configured for other purposes.

 ├
[V] span:FabSource The fabric source port (also called a monitored port), which is a switched port that you monitor for network traffic analysis. In a single local SPAN session, you can monitor source port traffic such as received (Rx), transmitted (Tx), or bidirectional (both). The switch supports any number of source ports (up to the maximum number of available ports on the switch).

Constants
created 2u created In a setter method: specifies that an object should be created. An error is returned if the object already exists.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been created.
modified 4u modified In a setter method: specifies that an object should be modified
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been modified.
deleted 8u deleted In a setter method: specifies that an object should be deleted.
In the return value of a setter method: indicates that an object has been deleted.
DEFAULT 0 --- This type controls the life cycle of objects passed in the XML API.

When used in a setter method (such as configConfMo), the ModificationStatus specifies whether an object should be created, modified, deleted or removed.
In the return value of a setter method, the ModificationStatus indicates the actual operation that was performed. For example, the ModificationStatus is set to "created" if the object was created. The ModificationStatus is not set if the object was neither created, modified, deleted or removed.

When invoking a setter method, the ModificationStatus is optional:
If a setter method such as configConfMo is invoked and the ModificationStatus is not set, the system automatically determines if the object should be created or modified.
