Creating An Rspan Destination Session - Cisco 2950 - Catalyst Switch Configuration Manual

Chapter 25 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN

Creating an RSPAN Destination Session

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an RSPAN destination session and to
specify the source RSPAN VLAN and the destination port:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
monitor session session_number source
remote vlan vlan-id
Step 3
monitor session session_number
destination interface interface-id
[encapsulation {dot1q}]
Step 4 end
Step 5
show monitor [session session_number]
Step 6 copy running-config startup-config
This example shows how to configure VLAN 901 as the source remote VLAN and port 5 as the
destination interface:
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 source remote vlan 901
Switch(config)# monitor session 1 destination interface fastethernet0/5
Switch(config)# end
