configuration, and reduced system resources.

To be noticed: Normal mode is introduced by default. When using the normal mode,

datagrams with reserved MAC addresses cannot be broadcasted.

The number of the source mirror ports is not limited, and can be one or more. Multiple source

ports are not restricted to be in the same VLAN. The destination port and the source ports can

be in different VLAN.

For configuration of RSPAN, a dedicated RSPAN VLAN should be configured first for carrying

the RSPAN datagrams. The default VLAN, dynamic VLAN, private VLAN, multicast VLAN, and

the layer 3 interface enabled VLAN cannot be configured as the RSPAN VLAN. The reflector

port must belong to the RSPAN VLAN. The destination port should be connected to the

Monitor and the configured as access port or the TRUNK port. The RSPAN reflector port will

be working dedicatedly for mirroring, when a port is configured as a reflector port, it will

discards all the existing connections to the remote peer, disable configurations related to

loopback interfaces, and stop forwarding datagram. Connectivity between the source and

destination switch for Remote VLAN, should be made sure by configuration.

To be noticed:

1. Layer 3 interfaces related to RSPAN VLAN should not be configured on the source,

intermediate, and the destination switches, or the mirrored datagrams may be discarded.

2. For the source and intermediate switches in the RSPAN connections, the native VLAN of

TRUNK port cannot be configured as the RSPAN VLAN, Otherwise the RSPAN tag will be

disposed before reaching the destination switches.

3. The source port, in access or trunk mode, should not be added to RSPAN VLAN if advanced

RSPAN mode is chosen. When the reflector port is used for a inter-card mirroring of CPU TX

data, it must be configured as TRUNK port and allows the RSPAN VLAN data passing, the

Native VLAN should not be configured as RSPAN VLAN.

4. When configuring the remote mirroring function, the network bandwidth should be

considered in order to carry the network flow and the mirrored flow.

Keywards:

RSPAN: Remote Switched Port Analyzer

RSPAN VLAN: Dedicated VLAN for RSPAN

RSPAN Tag: The VLAN tag which is attached to MTP of the RSPAN datagrams.

Reflector Port: The local mirroring port between the RSPAN source and destination ports,

which is not directly connected to the intermediate switches.
