Re: RSPAN in 3550 with reflector port

Dears,

Due to hardware designs related to the hardware architecture of the 3550,
the reflector port was introduced. It makes no sense, just choose it to be
any empty port and things will go fine.

Create the RSPAN vlan on both switches.
vlan x
remote-span

On switch 1,
monitor session 1 source interface fa0/18
monitor session 1 destination vlan (rspan vlan)

On switch 2
monitor session 1 source vlan (RSPAN)
monitor session 1 destination interface (17)

Remember whenever you need reflector port just put any empty port and allow
the RSPAN vlan to pass through.
