Chapter 26 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring RSPAN
Reflector : Port 2/34
Rspan Vlan : 500
Admin Source : Port 2/3
Oper Source : Port 2/3
Direction : transmit/receive
Incoming Packets: -
Learning : -
Filter : 50,850
Status : active
Console> (enable) 2001 May 02 13:25:59 %SYS-5-SPAN_CFGSTATECHG:remote span source session
active for remote span vlan 500
To configure RSPAN source VLANs, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to specify VLAN 200 as a source VLAN for RSPAN VLAN 500:
Console> (enable) set rspan source 200 500
Rspan Type : Source
Destination : -
Rspan Vlan : 500
Admin Source : VLAN 200
Oper Source : None
Direction : transmit/receive
Incoming Packets: -
Learning : -
Multicast : enabled
Filter : -
Console> (enable)
To configure RSPAN destination ports, perform this task in privileged mode:
Caution
If the RSPAN destination port is connected to another device and reception of incoming packets is
enabled (using the inpkts enable keywords), the RSPAN destination port receives traffic for the VLAN
to which the RSPAN destination port belongs. However, the RSPAN destination port does not participate
in spanning tree for that VLAN, so avoid creating network loops with the RSPAN destination port.
This example shows how to specify port 3/1 as the RSPAN destination port in VLAN 500:
Console> (enable) set rspan destination 3/1 500
Rspan Type : Destination
Destination : Port 3/1
Task
Command
Step 1
Configure RSPAN source VLANs. All the ports in
the source VLAN become operational source ports.
set rspan source {mod/ports... | vlans...}
{rspan_vlan} reflector mod/port [rx | tx | both]
[filter vlans...] [create]
Step 2
Verify the RSPAN configuration.
show rspan
Task
Command
Step 1
Configure RSPAN destination ports. Use this
command on each of the destination switches
participating in RSPAN.
set rspan destination {mod_num/port_num}
{rspan_vlan} [inpkts {enable | disable}]
[learning {enable | disable}] [create]
Step 2
Verify the RSPAN configuration.
show rspan
