Port Configuration
– 112
Operation Status
– Indicates whether or not RSPAN is currently functioning.
Switch Role
– Specifies the role this switch performs in mirroring traffic.
None
– This switch will not participate in RSPAN.
Source
- Specifies this device as the source of remotely mirrored traffic.
Intermediate
- Specifies this device as an intermediate switch,
transparently passing mirrored traffic from one or more sources to one or
more destinations.
Destination
- Specifies this device as a switch configured with a
destination port which is to receive mirrored traffic for this session.
Remote VLAN
– The VLAN to which traffic mirrored from the source port will
be flooded. The VLAN specified in this field must first be reserved for the RSPAN
application using the VLAN > Static page (see page 150).
Uplink Port
– A port on any switch participating in RSPAN through which
mirrored traffic is passed on to or received from the RSPAN VLAN.
Only one uplink port can be configured on a source switch, but there is no
limitation on the number of uplink ports configured on an intermediate or
destination switch.
Only destination and uplink ports will be assigned by the switch as members of
the RSPAN VLAN. Ports cannot be manually assigned to an RSPAN VLAN
through the VLAN > Static page. Nor can GVRP dynamically add port members
to an RSPAN VLAN. Also, note that the VLAN > Static (Show) page will not
display any members for an RSPAN VLAN, but will only show configured RSPAN
VLAN identifiers.
Source Port
– Specifies the ports to monitor. (Switch Role as Source)
Type
– Specifies the traffic type to be mirrored remotely. (Options: Rx, Tx, Both)
Port
(Uplink) – Specifies the destination port to monitor the traffic mirrored
from the source ports. 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. Also note that a destination port can still
send and receive switched traffic, and participate in any Layer 2 protocols to
which it has been assigned. (Switch Role as Intermediate or Destination)
Tag
– Specifies whether or not the traffic exiting the destination port to the
monitoring device carries the RSPAN VLAN tag.
