Nested Spanning

Hey all,

I am trying to setup a system to record traffic from my lab exercises. I
have four 2950s, 3 which are setup as access layers with a FE connected to a
system. I have created a SPAN on each of these switches for that FE
outputing both inbound/outbound which connects up to the fourth switch (the
SPAN traffic will be <10Mbps so loss due to duplex is no issue). The fourth
switch has no purpose other than to aggregate SPANs coming from the access
layers, and to output those SPANS to a to a sniffer. I am using standard
SPAN at this point, but am not having any luck. Anybody have any
suggestions? Is RSPAN the solution?

Regards,

Dave
