| 9.2.5 |  | Configuring RSPAN |

Configuring an RSPAN session is similar to the procedure followed when configuring SPAN and VSPAN.

An initial configuration step is to create a RSPAN VLAN. A unique RSPAN VLAN must be created for each monitoring session.

Source ports and session ID are configured as they are in a SPAN session. On the source switch an RSPAN VLAN and reflector port is nominated with the command :

> Switch(config)#monitor session_number destination remote vlan vlan_number reflector-port port_id

On the destination switch the RSPAN VLAN must be nominated as the source of monitored traffic:

> Switch(config)#monitor session 1 source remote vlan 901

A destination interface is then selected in the same way as it is for SPAN sessions.

Ports can be removed from the monitoring session in the same way as occurs for SPAN sessions.

To display the status of the current RSPAN configuration, the show monitor session command is used.
