◆ Only one destination port can be configured on the same switch per session,
but a destination port can be configured on more than one switch for the same
session.
◆ Only 802.1Q trunk or hybrid (i.e., general use) ports can be configured as an
RSPAN destination port – access ports are not allowed (see switchport mode).
◆ Only ports can be configured as an RSPAN destination – static and dynamic
trunks are not allowed.

any Layer 2 protocols to which it has been assigned.
