RSPAN Configuration
RSPAN Configuration
Overview
RSPAN is the expansion of SPAN. Remote mirroring breaks the restriction that
mirrored port and mirroring port must be on the same device. Multiple network
devices are deployed between them and administrators can observe the data
packets on the remotely mirroring port by analyzer in the central machine room.
All the mirrored packets are transmitted to the remote mirroring port via a special
RSPAN Vlan (also known as Remote VLAN). Typical application topology is shown
as below.
Figure 1 Typical RSPAN application topology
Figure 1 illustrates three roles:
Source switch: Where the mirrored port is. The source switch copies the
packets of source port and forwards them through the Remote VLAN to the
middle swithc or the destination swithc.
Middle switch: The one between the source switch and the destination
switch. It transmmits the mirrored pakcets to the next middle switch or the
destination switch via Remote VLAN. If the source switch is directly
connected with the destination switch, then there is no middle swith.
Destination switch: Where the mirroring destination port is. It forwards the
mirrored packets received from Remote VLAN to the monitoring device via
the mirroring destination port.
