Chapter23 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
To remove a source port or VLAN from the SPAN session, use the no monitor session session_number
source {interface interface-id | vlan vlan-id} global configuration command. To remove the RSPAN
VLAN from the session, use the no monitor session session_number destination remote vlan vlan-id.
This example shows how to remove any existing RSPAN configuration for session 1, configure RSPAN
session 1 to monitor multiple source interfaces, and configure the destination as RSPAN VLAN 901.
Switch(config)# no monitor session 1
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet0/1 tx
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface gigabitethernet0/2 rx
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source interface port-channel 2
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 901
Switch(config)# end
Creating an RSPAN Destination Session
You configure the RSPAN destination session on a different switch; that is, not the switch on which the
source session was configured.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to define the RSPAN VLAN on that switch, to
create an RSPAN destination session, and to specify the source RSPAN VLAN and the destination port:
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 vlan vlan-id Enter the VLAN ID of the RSPAN VLAN created from the source
switch, and enter VLAN configuration mode.
If both switches are participating in VTP and the RSPAN VLAN ID
is from 2 to 1005, Steps 2 through 4 are not required because the
RSPAN VLAN ID is propagated through the VTP network.
Step3 remote-span Identify the VLAN as the RSPAN VLAN.
Step4 exit Return to global configuration mode.
Step5 no monitor session {session_number | all |
local | remote}
Remove any existing RSPAN configuration for the session.
For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.
Specify all to remove all RSPAN sessions, local to remove all local
sessions, or remote to remove all remote SPAN sessions.
Step6 monitor session session_number source
remote vlan vlan-id
Specify the RSPAN session and the source RSPAN VLAN.
For session_number, the range is 1 to 66.
For vlan-id, specify the source RSPAN VLAN to monitor.
Step7 monitor session session_number
destination interface interface-id
Specify the RSPAN session and the destination interface.
For session_number, enter the number defined in Step 6.
In an RSPAN destination session, you must use the same session
number for the source RSPAN VLAN and the destination port.
For interface-id, specify the destination interface. The destination
interface must be a physical interface.
Though visible in the command-line help string, encapsulation
replicate is not supported for RSPAN. The original VLAN ID is
overwritten by the RSPAN VLAN ID, and all packets appear on the
destination port as untagged.
