Reference Guide

• You cannot congure the dedicated VLAN used to transport mirrored trac as a source VLAN.
Restrictions
• When you use a source VLAN, enable ow-based monitoring (flow-based enable).
• In a source VLAN, only received (rx) trac is monitored.
• You cannot congure a source port-channel or source VLAN in a source session if the port-channel or VLAN has a member port
congured as a destination port in a remote port mirroring session.
• You cannot use a destination port for remote port mirroring as a source port, including the session the port functions as the destination
port.
• The reserved VLAN used to transport mirrored trac must be a L2 VLAN — L3 VLANs are not supported.
Congure remote port mirroring
Remote port mirroring requires a source session (monitored ports on dierent source network devices), a reserved tagged VLAN for
transporting mirrored trac (congured on the source, intermediate, and destination devices), and a destination session (destination ports
connected to analyzers on destination devices).
1 Create a remote monitoring session in CONFIGURATION mode.
monitor session session-id type rspan-source
2 Enter the source to monitor trac in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
source interface interface-range direction
3 Enter the destination to send the trac to in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
destination remote-interface interface-id
4 Enable the monitoring interface in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
shut
Create remote monitoring session
