Sami,

The purpose of the reflector port is to use the ASIC of that port for
processing. So you would want to choose a vacant port that is not used in
the scenario. There is no actual configuration that I am aware of for that
particular port, other than the reference to is for RSPAN so the switch can
re-assign the ASIC for RSPAN use.

You dont need to apply any configuration to RSPAN reflector port :)
In fact, it works in any way, AFAIR. Just verify you configuration, sending
packet stream and monitoring it on destination port :)
