I am configuring 5 6500's to monitor voice traffic across the network. I have configured RSPAN across the network but when I get to the destination switch I am having issues deciding how to configure it.
I read that on the destination switch the RSPAN VLAN can not be a source to a destination port on the same switch. All of the documentation found does not support that comment. The configuration is as follows:
RSPAN configuration for remote 6500 switches.
monitor session 1 source vlan 505
monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 750
RSPAN configuration for Destination 6500 Switch.
monitor session 1 source vlan 505
monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 750
monitor session 1 source remote vlan 750
monitor session 2 destination interface Fa10/23
If I can not use the RSPAN VLAN as the source on the destination switch, how will the traffic from VLAN 505, from the remote switches make it to the destination interface. I can span the port but that will only mirror traffic on the local switch.
Also, when I put the configuration on the remote switches, all of my voice traffic drops out. VLAN 505 is the voice VLAN. RSPAN should have no influence on traffic flow and completely crash the VLAN but I have narrowed it down to that. I am able to get the data vlans to work fine. All traffic is trunked with all VLANs allowed and there is only layer 2 connectivity across the switches. I am completely stuck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
