Hi all

I was trying to configure a remote span between a cisco nexus 5000 and a catalyst 4506 core switch

the source of the traffic is from a server connected to the 5k and the destination port is on the 4506, I have a remote span vlan between the devices but I can't figure out how to configure them 

can someone please help

Hi
As far as i recall, rspan isn't possible on Nexus 5k. Instead you can implement ERSPAN.

However, there're some limitations for ERSPAN on Catalyst 4500.
Take a look on that document;
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/XE3-9-0E/15-25E/configuration/guide/xe-390-configuration/erspan.pdf

Thanks
Francesco

so this mean I can't configure the normal remote span with the below commands

 

#monitor session 1 source interface f0/1 (you can choose receive, send, both)

#monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 2

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

#monitor session 1 source remote vlan 2

#monitor session 1 destination interface f0/2

 

 

Honestly, on Nexus 5k, rspan wasn't working/possible.

You can check the Nexus documentation based on your nx-os version to validate.

I've done a quick search and still not possible on this platform

Thanks
