Configuring Remote Port Mirroring
Use the Interface > RSPAN page to mirror traffic from remote switches for analysis at a destination
port on the local switch. This feature, also called Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN), carries
traffic generated on the specified source ports for each session over a user-specified VLAN
dedicated to that RSPAN session in all participating switches. Monitored traffic from one or more
sources is copied onto the RSPAN VLAN through IEEE 802.1Q trunk or hybrid ports that carry it to
any RSPAN destination port monitoring the RSPAN VLAN as shown in the figure below.
