◆
Operation Status – Indicates whether or not RSPAN is currently
functioning.
◆
Switch Role – Specifies the role this switch performs in mirroring
traffic.
■
None – This switch will not participate in RSPAN.
■
Source - Specifies this device as the source of remotely mirrored
traffic.
■
Intermediate - Specifies this device as an intermediate switch,
transparently passing mirrored traffic from one or more sources to
one or more destinations.
■
Destination - Specifies this device as a switch configured with a
destination port which is to receive mirrored traffic for this session.
◆
Remote VLAN – The VLAN to which traffic mirrored from the source
port will be flooded. The VLAN specified in this field must first be
reserved for the RSPAN application using the VLAN > Static page (see
◆
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 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 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.
