RSPAN supports source ports, source VLANs, and destination ports on different switches (or different

source ports on Switch A and Switch B. The traffic for each RSPAN session is carried over a
user-specified RSPAN VLAN that is dedicated for that RSPAN session in all participating switches. The
RSPAN traffic from the source ports or VLANs is copied into the RSPAN VLAN and forwarded over
trunk ports carrying the RSPAN VLAN to a destination session monitoring the RSPAN VLAN. Each
RSPAN source switch must have either ports or VLANs as RSPAN sources. The destination is always a
physical port, as shown on Switch C in the figure.
