HI,

I have 3 switches A, B, and C in a vtp domain, with switch A being the vtp
server and the others clients.

I need to create a vlan for remote span, which i do on the vtp server and it
propagates to the other switches.

However, an rspan vlan also requires marking the vlan as a special remote
span vlan by using the 'remote-span' vlan mode command.

My question is, would the *'remote-span'* attribute for the rspan vlan on
the server be propagated to the other client switches when the vlan is
propagated by vtp?

Or do I have to specifically go onto each of the client switches that would
be participating in rspan and reenter the 'remote-span' command for the
rspan vlan they receive? Note that the other switches are in client mode
which means I would have to change mode to server if i have to do this on
them also?

How does the rspan-marked vlan operate with vtp?

Waiting for your views and references.

Thanks

Felix
