Well you could try this:

Say R1 and R2 are on the VLAN you're monitoring and R3 is receiving the
(R)SPAN traffic.

R1 and R2 are say on 10.0.0.0/24 subnet (.1 and .2 respectively).
Put R3 on some arbitrary network just so it has an IP address - say
1.1.1.1/8 and enable 'debug ip packet detail'.

Then on either R1 or R2 try pinging the all broadcast address
255.255.255.255 - you should see traffic hit R3.
It's not a sniffer but at least you should see some ICMP traffic on the
debug.

Excellent many thanks. I'll be more specific. I know how to create a
remote span vlan and how to check I've created it. Beyond this I can create
a monitor session on the switch with the correct source, destination and
filter parameters. What I'm trying to do is perhaps run a ping and debug
test to prove the traffic goes to the sniffer port. Can't seem to find the
best debug.

Thanks again
