Prerequisites for SPAN and RSPAN

You must globally configure the ip device tracking maximum limit-number interface configuration
command globally for IPSG for static hosts to work. If you only configure this command on a port
without enabling IP device tracking globally or setting an IP device tra cking maximum on that
interface, IPSG with static hosts will reject all the IP traffic from that interface. This requirement
also applies to IPSG with static hosts on a Layer 2 access port.

Restrictions for SPAN and RSPAN

To use the RSPAN feature, the switch must be running the LAN Base image.
SPAN for intrusion detection is not supported on the LAN Lite image.
Two SPAN sessions are supported when the switch is running the LAN Base image.
One SPAN session is supported when the switch is running the LAN Lite image.

Information About SPAN and RSPAN

SPAN and RSPAN

You can analyze network traffic passing through ports or VLANs by using Switched Port Analyzer
(SPAN) or Remote SPAN (RSPAN) to send a copy of the traffic to another port on the switch or on
another switch that has been connected to a network analyzer or other monitoring or security device.
