RE: Trouble configuring RSPAN

        Am I correct in saying that the reflector-port is the
target/destination interface in which the sniffer/network monitoring device
is attached? I understand that this is occuring over a VLAN and the
destination can be multiple hops away, but it's unclear to me whether the
reflector-port is the final destination or the trunk uplink. I "believe"
it's the "final" destination, but I thought I would ask.

The Catalyst 2970, 3560, and 3750 switches do not require configuration of a
REFLECTOR port when configuring an RSPAN session.

Are you sure that's a 3550. I haven't seen one with a g1/0/10 interface.
Maybe a 3750 that doesn't require a reflector port?
