Usage Guidelines
All VSANs with RSPAN traffic must be enabled. If a VSAN containing RSPAN traffic is not enabled, it
will be dropped.
The FC tunnel can only be configured in the same subnet as the VSAN interface.
The Fibre Channel tunnel feature must be enabled (the interface fc-tunnel command) on each switch in
the end-to-end path of the Fibre Channel fabric in which RSPAN is to be implemented.
This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
Note
BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
