Monitoring VLANs or ports over the WAN

[Adeel Hasany]

Hi,

We have remote sites in different part of the world and a management platform which has Wireshark installed (but we never used it) Is there a way to monitor the remote ports over the WAN from this management platform.

Management platform is in Edmonton and remote sites are in different part of world.

Thanks 

AD

If its layer 3 the only way I think is erspan and if its layer 2 remote you could do rspan
