Manage an RSPAN VLAN

You can configure the VLAN to use the remote switched port analyzer (RSPAN) VLAN.
RSPAN allows you to 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.
