Port Configuration
33
• 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
12 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.
• Type – Specifies the traffic type to be mirrored remotely. (Options: Rx, Tx, Both)
• Destination Port – Specifies the destination port
12
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.
• Tag – Specifies whether or not the traffic exiting the destination port to the monitoring device
carries the RSPAN VLAN tag.
