Cisco says:
"A source VLAN is a VLAN monitored for network traffic analysis. VLAN-based SPAN (VSPAN) uses a VLAN as the SPAN source. All the ports in the source VLANs become source ports. "
Is this true even if the ports are located on different switches?
I have ports belonging to the same VLAN scattered over 4 switches.
If I set this VLAN as the SPAN source , will I be able to monitor traffic of all the ports belonging to this VLAN even if they are located on different switches?
chears!

VLAN-based SPAN is for the switch in question. Depending on what switch you have/Software versions, you can use Remote SPAN(RSPAN) to acheive what you are asking

you only can use ¡°remote span¡± feature on cat 6500 switchs.
