RSPAN Configuration in OS10 - S5224F-ON

HI Team,

Below are my topology , i need configure RSPAN to capture different vlan traffic. Below configuration in dell swicth. When i trying to packet capture its not working. 


In VMware required configuration done. But its still same issue.

Note : We dont have deliciated link to packet capture. Need use exsisting link.

Span Configuration 

interface vlan104
 no shutdown
 remote-span

monitor session 1 type rpm-source
 destination remote-vlan 104
 source interface vlan51 rx
 source interface vlan100 rx
 no shut


interface ethernet1/1/3:1
 no shutdown
 switchport mode trunk
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 15,51-52,104
 flowcontrol receive off
 sflow enable


Please suggest

Sureshbabu V,
 

From your configuration, I notice a few potential issues:

 

1. You've defined the monitor session 1 type as rpm-source, which is correct for RSPAN. However, you might need to specify the destination remote VLAN as the VLAN number (e.g., destination remote-vlan 104) at the end of the monitor session 1 command.

 

2. You've specified source interface vlan51 rx and source interface vlan100 rx, which means you're capturing traffic from both VLANs, but only receiving (rx) packets. Make sure you're capturing the desired direction (tx or rx) for each VLAN.


3. The interface ethernet1/1/3:1 configuration looks correct, as it's set to trunk mode and allows VLANs 15, 51-52, and 104.


Now with this, I recommend checking the following:

*Verify that the monitor session 1 is enabled (no shut) and configured correctly.
*Ensure that the VLANs 51 and 100 are properly configured on the switch and that the traffic is flowing correctly.
*Check the link status of Ethernet 1/1/3:1 to ensure it's up and operational.
*Verify that the VMware configuration is correct and that the RSPAN session is properly configured.
*You can also try capturing traffic using a different VLAN or interface to isolate the issue.

 

Let  me know what you see and if this helps.

@DELL-Chris H ​ I have tried to configure destination vlan last of the monitor session. But its taking first line the in the monitor session. Might be its taking as per naming order. 

Also trying change capture direction. But its visiable rx only.

(conf-mon-rpm-source-2)# source interface vlan51
  rx    Direction of monitored ports
  <cr>

kindly suggest

Would you confirm what happens if you do the steps in remote port monitoring, found on page 742 here?
