IP-address on capture-interface?

[ejgh-oe]

Hi,
TL;DR;
Is it possible to assign an IP-address to the capture interface on a SO sensor-node?

Reason I'm asking: Since I can't work with a local mirror setup, i.e. SPAN from one switchport to another on the same Switch Cisco Nexus9000 switch, I thought about setting up ERSPAN, i.e. traffic coming from one switchport (source) to a particular IP-address somewhere else; so the destination is not a local switchport but whoever is holding the destination IP-address. Basically it's "tunneling" traffic originating from one switchport to an IP-address.

My idea was to assign this "destination IP" of the ERSPAN-config to the capture interface of the SO pcap-machine ("sensor"), so that traffic originating from a port on one switch ends up at the switchport (on another LAN switch) where the SO pcap machine is connected.

Is this setup, i.e. IP-address on the capture interface, possible at all?

Thanks much in advance for any clue...
