RSPAN monitoring

by kvb . Updated 19 years, 5 months ago

I am curious about tapping a network using RSPAN. I am quite familiar with using a SPAN port. The network: 4 workgroup switches. Two are configured with source ports, VLAN2. The other two are configured with source ports, VLAN 3. Two switches are intermediate switches. Then one destination switch with two destination ports – one for VLAN 2 and the other for VLAN 3. I would like to have both intermediate switches configured to traffic both VLAN 2 & 3 – however I am concerned with packet replication. Will the destination port receive two copies of each packet as there are two intermediate switches?
