AV Line of Fully Managed Switches M4250 Series Main User Manual RSPAN VLANs and source and destination switches You can configure a VLAN as a remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN) VLAN. RSPAN lets you mirror traffic from multiple source ports (or from all ports that are members of a VLAN) from different network devices and send the mirrored traffic to a destination port (a probe port connected to a network analyzer) on a remote device. The mirrored traffic is tagged with the RSPAN VLAN ID and transmitted over trunk ports in the RSPAN VLAN. A switch can function as an RSPAN source switch that sends traffic to another switch that functions as an RSPAN destination switch. Because the switch supports multiple RSPAN configurations, the switch can also function as an RSPAN destination switch that receives traffic from another switch that functions as an RSPAN source switch.
