Configure remote port monitoring

Remote port monitoring requires the following for transporting mirrored traffic configured on the source, intermediate, and destination devices:

  • A source interface
  • Monitored ports on different source network devices
  • A reserved tagged VLAN
  1. Create a remote monitoring session in CONFIGURATION mode.
    monitor session session-id type rpm-source
  2. Enter the source to monitor traffic in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
    source interface interface-type {both | rx | tx}interface-range direction
  3. Enter the destination to send the traffic to in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
    destination remote-vlan vlan-id
  4. Enable the monitoring interface in MONITOR-SESSION mode.
    no shut

Create remote monitoring session

OS10(config)# monitor session 10 type rpm-source
OS10(conf-mon-rpm-source-10)#

Configure source and destination port, and traffic direction

source# show running-configuration interface ethernet 1/1/26:1
!
interface ethernet1/1/26:1
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10
flowcontrol receive on
NOTE: This is the interface through which the traffic is sent to the source and is monitored.
source# show running-configuration interface ethernet 1/1/1
!
interface ethernet1/1/1
no shutdown
switchport mode trunk
switchport access vlan 1
switchport trunk allowed vlan 20
flowcontrol receive on
NOTE: This is the interface connected to the intermediate switch and the RSPAN vlan is tagged.
