5. Configure remote VLAN of mirror group

37.3 Typical Examples of RSPAN

Before RSPAN is invented, network administrators had to connect their PCs directly to the

switches, in order to check the statistics of the network.

However, with the help of RSPAN, the network administrators can configure and supervise the

switches remotely, which brings more efficiency. The figure below shows a sample application

of RSPAN.

RSPAN Application Sample

Two configuration solutions can be chosen for RSPAN: the first is without reflector port, and

the other is with reflector port. For the first one, only one fixed port can be connected to the

intermediate switch. However, no reflector port has to be configured. This maximizes the

usage of witch ports. For the latter one, the port connected to the intermediate switch is not

fixed. Datagrams can be broadcasted in the RSPAN VLAN through the loopback, which is

much more flexible.

The normal mode configuration is show as below:

Solution 1:

Source switch:

Interface ethernet 1/0/1 is the source port for mirroring.

Interface ethernet 1/0/2 is the destination port which is connected to the intermediate switch.

RSPAN VLAN is 5.
