RSPAN MIRRORING COMMANDS
Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN) allows you to mirror traffic from
remote switches for analysis on a local destination port.
Configuration Guidelines
Take the following steps to configure an RSPAN session:
1. Use the vlan rspan command to configure a VLAN to use for RSPAN.
(Default VLAN 1 is prohibited.)
2. Use the rspan source command to specify the interfaces and the traffic
type (RX, TX or both) to be monitored.
3. Use the rspan destination command to specify the destination port for
the traffic mirrored by an RSPAN session.
