Use the Interface > 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.
A number identifying this RSPAN session. (Range: 1-3)
Indicates whether or not RSPAN is currently functioning.
Specifies the role this switch performs in mirroring traffic.
This switch will not participate in RSPAN.
Specifies this device as the source of remotely mirrored traffic.
Specifies this device as an intermediate switch, transparently passing mirrored traffic from one or more sources to one or more destinations.
Specifies this device as a switch configured with a destination port which is to receive mirrored traffic for this session.
The VLAN to which traffic mirrored from the source port will be flooded. The VLAN specified in this field must first be reserved for the RSPAN application using the VLAN > Static page.
A port on any switch participating in RSPAN through which mirrored traffic is passed on to or received from the RSPAN VLAN.
Only one uplink port can be configured on a source switch, but there is no limitation on the number of uplink ports configured on an intermediate or destination switch.
Only destination and uplink ports will be assigned by the switch as members of the RSPAN VLAN. Ports cannot be manually assigned to an RSPAN VLAN through the VLAN > Static page. Nor can GVRP dynamically add port members to an RSPAN VLAN. Also, note that the VLAN > Static (Show) page will not display any members for an RSPAN VLAN, but will only show configured RSPAN VLAN identifiers.
Specifies the traffic type to be mirrored remotely. (Options: None, Rx, Tx, Both)
Specifies the destination port to monitor the traffic mirrored from the source ports. 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. Also note that a destination port can still send and receive switched traffic, and participate in any Layer 2 protocols to which it has been assigned.
Specifies whether or not the traffic exiting the destination port to the monitoring device carries the RSPAN VLAN tag.
