Chapter 30 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Understanding SPAN and RSPAN
•
The maximum number of destination ports in a switch or switch stack is 64.
Local SPAN and RSPAN destination ports behave differently regarding VLAN tagging and
encapsulation:
•
For local SPAN, if the
encapsulation replicate
keywords are specified for the destination port, these
packets appear with the original encapsulation (untagged, ISL, or IEEE 802.1Q). If these keywords
are not specified, packets appear in the untagged format. Therefore, the output of a local SPAN
session with
encapsulation replicate
enabled can contain a mixture of untagged, ISL, or IEEE
802.1Q-tagged packets.
•
For RSPAN, the original VLAN ID is lost because it is overwritten by the RSPAN VLAN
identification. Therefore, all packets appear on the destination port as untagged.
Destination-Port Group
Note
This section applies only to the Catalyst 3560E-12D switch.
The Catalyst 3560E-12D switch can only send SPAN and RSPAN traffic through destination ports
belonging to the same
destination-port group
. When configuring an RSPAN destination session, you
must specify the destination-port group (a, b, or c). For more information about the destination-port
groups, see the
“SPAN Configuration Guidelines” section on page 30-13
.
In a local SPAN session with only one destination port, you do not need to specify the destination-port
group. If you add a second destination port to the session, the port must be in the same destination-port
group as the existing destination port.
RSPAN VLAN
The RSPAN VLAN carries SPAN traffic between RSPAN source and destination sessions. It has these
special characteristics:
•
All traffic in the RSPAN VLAN is always flooded.
•
No MAC address learning occurs on the RSPAN VLAN.
•
RSPAN VLAN traffic only flows on trunk ports.
•
RSPAN VLANs must be configured in VLAN configuration mode by using the
remote-span
VLAN
configuration mode command.
•
STP can run on RSPAN VLAN trunks but not on SPAN destination ports.
•
An RSPAN VLAN cannot be a private-VLAN primary or secondary VLAN.
For VLANs 1 to 1005 that are visible to VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), the VLAN ID and its
associated RSPAN characteristic are propagated by VTP. If you assign an RSPAN VLAN ID in the
extended VLAN range (1006 to 4094), you must manually configure all intermediate switches.
It is normal to have multiple RSPAN VLANs in a network at the same time with each RSPAN VLAN
defining a network-wide RSPAN session. That is, multiple RSPAN source sessions anywhere in the
network can contribute packets to the RSPAN session. It is also possible to have multiple RSPAN
destination sessions throughout the network, monitoring the same RSPAN VLAN and presenting traffic
to the user. The RSPAN VLAN ID separates the sessions.
