Chapter 7. Cisco Systems IGESM configuration and network integration 179
Step 2.2: Configure VLAN
and trunking options
.
All desired VLANs were
already created as part of the
base configuration, and IP
addresses were added at
that time. This step sets up
the aggregated links created
in step 2.1 to be 802.1Q
trunks and allows the desired
VLANs to be carried.
Note that all of our VLANs
(except VLAN 500) on both
Cisco Systems IGESMs must
be carried now to
accommodate for a future
failure in one of the uplinks
between one of the 6500s
and the Cisco Systems
IGESMs.

Note: Configuring root guard on the port
channel interface between 6500s and the
Cisco Systems IGESMs will help to
ensure stability in your network.
Also note that the addition of VLAN 500
above to the allowed VLANs was only
done on 6500-1 to support the
demonstration of RSPAN.

Step 2.3:
Configure to
support the RSPAN VLAN as
defined on CIGESM1
.
For test purposes, a sniffer
will be placed on g2/2 to
capture traffic to port g0/1 on
CIGESM1 (as defined in step
3).
vlan 500
remote-span
monitor session 5 source remote vlan
500
monitor session 5 destination
interface g2/2
int g2/2
no shutdown
end
The two monitor commands listed above
are wrapped in this document and should
be each on their own line.
The use of VLAN 500 as the RSPAN
VLAN is defined on CIGESM1 in an
upcoming step. The VLAN selection, the
selection of the
session to use, and the
selection of g2/2 as the destination port
were all arbitrary.
For this example, we only show an
RSPAN from CIGESM1 to 6500-1.
Step 2.4:
Save config to
NVRAM
.
Note: Failure to save your
configuration will result in
possible network down
conditions if the switch is
restarted prior to the save (all
changes since last save will
be lost).
