Command Usage
• 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.
• Only 802.1Q trunk or hybrid (i.e., general use) ports can be configured as an RSPAN
destination port – access ports are not allowed (see switchport mode).
• Only ports can be configured as an RSPAN destination – static and dynamic trunks are not
allowed.
• The source port and destination port cannot be configured on the same switch.
• A destination port can still send and receive switched traffic, and participate in any Layer 2
protocols to which it has been assigned.
