Yes, Scenario 1 worked.

Thanks a lot, Balaji

I think you are running into CSCef89510

Release-note:

A Catalyst 2950 switch may not RSPAN traffic correctly. This is due
to an ASIC limitation specific to the 2950 platform.

Workaround:

RSPAN will function as expected under the following scenario's:

- Scenario1 (2950's as source, destination, and intermidiate switches):

RSPAN is supported if there is 1 source port, and the SPAN session is
configured as RX only or TX only.

- Scenario2 (2950 as the source switch, and the destination/intermediate
switches are another Cisco platform that supports RSPAN):

RSPAN is supported with multiple sources, and the SPAN session can be
configured as RX only, TX only or Both

- Scenario3 (2950 as destination switch, and the source/intermediate
switches are another Cisco platform that supports RSPAN):

RSPAN is supported if there is 1 source port, and the SPAN session is
configured as RX only or TX only.

- Scenario4 (2950 as intermediate switch for any Cisco platform that
supports RSPAN):

RSPAN is supported if there is 1 source port, and the SPAN session is
configured as RX only or TX only.
