• MAC address learning is not supported on RSPAN uplink ports when RSPAN is
enabled on the switch. Therefore, even if spanning tree is enabled after RSPAN has
been configured, MAC address learning will still not be re-started on the RSPAN
uplink ports.
• IEEE 802.1X – RSPAN and 802.1X are mutually exclusive functions. When 802.1X
is enabled globally, RSPAN uplink ports cannot be configured, even though RSPAN
source and destination ports can still be configured. When RSPAN uplink ports are
enabled on the switch, 802.1X cannot be enabled globally.
• Port Security – If port security is enabled on any port, that port cannot be set as an
RSPAN uplink port, even though it can still be configured as an RSPAN source or
destination port. Also, when a port is configured as an RSPAN uplink port, port
security cannot be enabled on that port.
Parameters
These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
• Session – A number identifying this RSPAN session. (Range: 1-2)
Only two mirror sessions are allowed, including both local and remote mirroring. If
local mirroring is enabled (see
there is only one session available for RSPAN.
• Operation Status – Indicates whether or not RSPAN is currently functioning.
• Switch Role – Specifies the role this switch performs in mirroring traffic.
• None – This switch will not participate in RSPAN.
• Source - Specifies this device as the source of remotely mirrored traffic.
• Intermediate - Specifies this device as an intermediate switch, transparently
passing mirrored traffic from one or more sources to one or more destinations.
• Destination - Specifies this device as a switch configured with a destination
port which is to receive mirrored traffic for this session.
• Remote VLAN – The VLAN to which traffic mirrored from the source port will be
flooded. The VLAN specified in this field must first be reserved for the RSPAN
application using the VLAN > S
page 7-4).
• Uplink Port – A port on any switch participating in RSPAN through which mirrored
traffic is passed on to or received from the RSPAN VLAN.
Only one uplink port can be configured on a source switch, but there is no limitation
on the number of uplink ports
Only destination and uplink ports will be assigned by the switch as members of the
RSPAN VLAN. Ports cannot be manually assigned to an RSPAN VLAN through the
VLAN > Static page. Nor can GVRP dynamically add port members to an RSPAN
VLAN. Also, note that the VLAN > S
for an RSPAN VLAN, but will only show configured RSPAN VLAN identifiers.
