RSPAN Trunked port - 6509

Hi All,

I am wanting to do an RSPAN session on my 6509 of a trunked port. Once I setup the RSPAN session by using the command 'set rspan source 6/48

I am guessing I am using the commmand incorrectly as I am redirecting the traffic only to the RSPAN vlan, it should be going to both the RSPAN vlan and to the other side of the trunked port.

Help

hi there ..

here is the configuration help..

Rspan essentially forwards whatever traffic you are spanning ('both' of port 6/48 in your case) onto a VLAN (445). You then listen to that vlan to hear the spanned traffic. The VLAN you've created must stretch across all switches between you ad the monitored port.

So vlan 445 is the vlan you've created just for RSPAN traffic.

You are monitoring port 6/48 on the switch you issued this command on.

You then need to log into the switch you sniffer/PC is on. You then issue the rspan destination command. This sends all the traffic on the

set rspan destination mod/port 445

Just check the syntax--i think i got that right. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email)
