CONFIGURING REMOTE
PORT MIRRORING
Use the Interface > Port > RSPAN page to mirror traffic from remote
switches for analysis at a destination port on the local switch. This feature,
also called Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN), carries traffic
generated on the specified source ports for each session over a user-
specified VLAN dedicated to that RSPAN session in all participating
switches. Monitored traffic from one or more sources is copied onto the
RSPAN VLAN through IEEE 802.1Q trunk or hybrid ports that carry it to any
RSPAN destination port monitoring the RSPAN VLAN as shown in the figure
below.
