Configuring RSPAN
Configuration Preparation
Determine the source switch, the middle switch and the destination switch.
Determine the mirrored source port, the reflector port, the mirrored destination
port and Remote VLAN.
Guarentee L2 interoperability between the source switch and the destination
switch in Remote VLAN.
Determine the direction of monitored packets.
Enable Remote VLAN
Configuring the Source Switch
Configuring RSPAN Session
RSPAN session has the same features as local SPAN session. For details, refer to
SPAN Configuration Guide.
Configuring Source Port
