Re: RSPAN causing an l2protocol tunnel-like effect

Hi all,

I've seen this weirdness in the real world recently with cat3750s
running 12.2(44)SE. That's odd, given the bug is allegedly fixed in
12.2(35)SE.

Exactly the same scenario. I didn't investigate further because when I
noticed it, I was in the middle of un-doing the RSPAN and modifying
the SPAN config such that both source and destination ports were on
the same physical switch.

Pretty useless workaround though.

Just did some digging. Maybe you're being bitten by CSCsl93705 instead.

cheers,
Dale
