Enable Rspan - Extreme Networks EAS 200-24p Switch CLI Manual

Chapter 52: Remote Switched Port ANalyzer (RSPAN) Command List

enable rspan

Description
This command controls the RSPAN function. The purpose of the RSPAN function is to mirror packets to
a remote switch.
A packet travels from the switch where the monitored packet is received, passing through the
intermediate switch, and then to the switch where the sniffer is attached. The first switch is also named
the source switch.
To make the RSPAN function work, the RSPAN VLAN source setting must be configured on the source
switch. For the intermediate and the last switch, the RSPAN VLAN redirect setting must be configured.
NOTE
RSPAN VLAN mirroring will only work when RSPAN is enabled (when one RSPAN VLAN has been
configured with a source port).
The RSPAN redirect function will work when RSPAN is enabled and at least one RSPAN VLAN has
been configured with redirect ports.
Format
enable rspan
Parameters
None.
Restrictions
Only Administrator and Operator-level users can issue this command.
