Command Usage
•
Only 802.1Q trunk or hybrid (i.e., general use) ports can be configured as an RSPAN uplink
port – access ports are not allowed (see
).
•
Only one uplink port can be configured on a source switch, but there is no limitation on the
number of uplink ports configured on an intermediate or destination switch.
•
Only destination and uplink ports will be assigned by the switch as members of this VLAN.
Ports cannot be manually assigned to an RSPAN VLAN with the
command. Nor can GVRP dynamically add port members to an RSPAN VLAN. Also, note that
the
command will not display any members for an RSPAN VLAN, but will only show
configured RSPAN VLAN identifiers.
