Hello, I would like to configure RSPAN: Source: Left switch Destination: Right switch No connection between them. I don't understand how to configure the source switch and destination switch - the switches (Dell) asked me to choose source port and reflector port and there is no any connection between the switches.
OK. So, I just plugged the Ethernet cable into GigabitEthernet 1/0/8 on the left switch and connected it to an unused port on the right switch. How can I proceed, please?
Here are the concise steps to proceed with the configuration:
On Both Switches:
Define the RSPAN VLAN (e.g., VLAN 100) that will carry the mirrored traffic.
On the Source Switch (Left Switch):
Configure the source port (e.g., Gi1/0/6) for monitoring. Define a reflector port, which should be the port connected to the right switch (e.g., Gi1/0/8).
On the Destination Switch (Right Switch):
Set up the destination port (e.g., Te2/0/18) to receive the mirrored traffic. Ensure VLAN Configuration:
Verify that the RSPAN VLAN is allowed on the interconnecting ports and all trunk links between the switches.
Please ensure that the configuration is applied correctly on both devices.

Hello, Thank you for your answer. There is a someone who tried to configure for me the left switch:
I don't understand please if you can help me. He doesn't want to a answer but I asked him to copy the traffic from Gi1/0/6(left switch) to the right switch (tengigabitethernet 2/0/18). Also he asked me to connect a cable between the left switch - port Gi1/0/8- and connect it to to right switch (interface 14). That's how he configured it:
First of all, I must say that we cannot actually provide configuration support directly. Our users in our community can also contribute. From what I've read of the thread, maybe you can take a look at it below. But for more, you can contact our network support team in your location.
As I can review and see you should use same RSPAN VLAN on both switches. Because you use VLAN90 but also there is VLAN100 Ensure RSPAN VLAN is configured as a remote span VLAN. With this command remote-span under the VLAN configuration mode.

Hi,
If there is no connection between the 2 switches, how can your client communicate with the server?
You will need physical connection established. Then you can proceed with configuration.
