•
The RSPAN destination session is not required when the destination switch is connected to source switch
through Layer2 VPN. Thus, in the destination switch, the destination port must configured with the
service instance with encapsulation as RSPAN VLAN/BD and bridge domain as RSPAN VLAN/BD
and the MAC address learning should be disabled on RSPAN BD/VLAN.
Restrictions for Local Span and RSPAN
Local Span
•
Local SPAN is only supported on physical ports.
•
SPAN monitoring of port-channel interfaces or port-channel member-links is
not
supported.
•
Combined Egress local SPAN bandwidth supported on Cisco ASR 900 Series RSP2 module is 1 GB.
•
Local SPAN is not supported on logical interfaces such as Vlans or EFPs.
•
Up to 14 active local SPAN sessions (ingress and egress) are supported. The router supports up to 14
ingress sessions and up to 12 egress sessions.
•
Only one local SPAN destination interface is supported. You
cannot
configure a local SPAN destination
interface to receive ingress traffic.
•
Outgoing Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) packets are not
replicated.
•
When enabled, local SPAN uses any previously entered configuration.
•
When you specify source interfaces and do not specify a traffic direction (
Tx
,
Rx
, or
both
),
both
is used
by default.
•
The SPAN port does not work for Rx traffic on the pseudowire for interfaces, when the SPAN port is
in different ASIC of the RSP2 module.
•
Local SPAN destinations never participate in any spanning tree instance. Local SPAN includes BPDUs
in the monitored traffic, so any BPDUs seen on the local SPAN destination are from the local SPAN
source.
•
Local SPAN sessions with overlapping sets of local SPAN source interfaces or VLANs are
not
supported.
RSP3 module
•
Destination port of SPAN session,
cannot
be used for other network data traffic flow.
•
Multiple destinations for same SPAN session is
not
supported on the Cisco ASR 900 Series RSP3
module.
•
Jumbo sized packets and bad CRC packets are
not
spanned.
•
Combined Egress local SPAN bandwidth supported is about 100GB depending on other traffic on the
internal recycle interface.
•
Port-channel
cannot
be used as the SPAN destination.
