Embodiments of the present disclosure enable monitoring network traffic on multiple Virtual Device Context (VDC) elements of a switch using a single NAM module. To that end, if a monitored network element supports contexts (i.e. VDC elements), a NAM module could be configured to seamlessly drive the move of the data port interfaces (at the managed device) from one context to the other. After the move of the data ports that support SPAN destination traffic flow to the target VDC is complete, these SPAN destination ports may be configured to be able to receive SPAN data traffic.
