C H A P T E R 5 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN This chapter describes how to configure Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and Remote SPAN (RSPAN).Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch or a switch stack. • Finding Feature Information, page 65 • Prerequisites for SPAN and RSPAN,...

RSPAN • We recommend that you configure an RSPAN VLAN before you configure an RSPAN source or adestination session. Restrictions for SPAN and RSPAN SPAN The restrictions for SPAN are as follows: • On each switch, you can configure a maximum of 4 (2 if switch is stacked with Catalyst 2960-S switches)...

name } Both the filter vlan and filter ip access-group commands cannot be configured at the same time. Configuring one results in rejection of the other. Note • EtherChannels are not supported in an FSPAN session. • FSPAN ACLs with TCP flags or the log keyword are not supported. • If you configure a...

All traffic on port 5 (the source port) is mirrored to port 10 (the destination port). A network analyzer on port10 receives all network traffic from port 5 without being physically attached to port 5. Figure 4: Example of Local SPAN Configuration on a Single Device This is an example of a local SPA...

The figure below shows source ports on Switch A and Switch B. The traffic for each RSPAN session is carriedover a user-specified RSPAN VLAN that is dedicated for that RSPAN session in all participating switches.The RSPAN traffic from the source ports or VLANs is copied into the RSPAN VLAN and forwar...

• Both — In a SPAN session, you can also monitor a port or VLAN for both received and sent packets. This is the default. The default configuration for local SPAN session ports is to send all packets untagged. SPAN also does notnormally monitor bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) packets and Layer 2 pro...

• STP can run on RSPAN VLAN trunks but not on SPAN destination ports. • An RSPAN VLAN cannot be a private-VLAN primary or secondary VLAN. For VLANs 1 to 1005 that are visible to VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP), the VLAN ID and its associatedRSPAN characteristic are propagated by VTP. If you assign an R...

RSPAN Configuration Guidelines • All the SPAN configuration guidelines apply to RSPAN. • As RSPAN VLANs have special properties, you should reserve a few VLANs across your network foruse as RSPAN VLANs; do not assign access ports to these VLANs. • You can apply an output ACL to RSPAN traffic to sele...
