Port Configuration
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.

1. Click Interface, RSPAN.
2. Set the Switch Role to None, Source, Intermediate, or Destination.
