Configure an RSPAN VLAN
You can configure the VLAN to use the remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN) VLAN.
RSPAN allows you to mirror traffic from multiple source ports (or from all ports that are
members of a VLAN) from different network devices and send the mirrored traffic to a
destination port (a probe port connected to a network analyzer) on a remote device. The
mirrored traffic is tagged with the RSPAN VLAN ID and transmitted over trunk ports in the
RSPAN VLAN.
To configure an RSPAN VLAN:
1. Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for
example, 169.254.100.201.
2. Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on
the switch.
3. Launch a web browser.
4. Enter the IP address of the switch in the web browser address field.
The default IP address of the switch is 169.254.100.100.
The Login screen displays.
