2960X doesn't Support RSPAN?

[kelvinffhan]

Hi Experts,

Is WS-C2960X-24TS-LL with c2960x-universalk9-mz.150-2.EX5 supported RSPAN? I have tried it out Today but unfortunately the command isn't accepted.

I have checked the release note it actually showing RSPAN are supported.

My next action plan will be upgrade the IOS version to the latest firmware and try. It is good if anyone can share out his/her thoughts.

My scenario would be like below :

6509 (Source) > 2960X > 3850X (Destination)

What are your options if you type remote? Or remote-?

or

vlan 781

?

Hi Cehill,

I have posted the available configuration command at the above thread.

[Charles Hill]

Is vlan 781 previously configured on a port?

have you tried another new  

vlan?

[Madhukrishnan Gopinathan Nair]

It works for me

Switch(config)#vlan 781
Switch(config-vlan)#re
Switch(config-vlan)#?

Switch(config-vlan)#?
VLAN configuration commands:
  are          Maximum number of All Route Explorer hops for this VLAN (or zero
               if none specified)
  backupcrf    Backup CRF mode of the VLAN
  bridge       Bridging characteristics of the VLAN
  exit         Apply changes, bump revision number, and exit mode
  media        Media type of the VLAN
  mtu          VLAN Maximum Transmission Unit
  name         Ascii name of the VLAN
  no           Negate a command or set its defaults
  parent       ID number of the Parent VLAN of FDDI or Token Ring type VLANs
  remote-span  Configure as Remote SPAN VLAN

So not sure what is happening in your case. As cehill said, can you create a new vlan and try.  Also share  output of sh vlan, sh license

Thanks,

Sure Madhu,

May I know what is the 2960X model are you using?

[Madhukrishnan Gopinathan Nair]

I dont remember exact model, but it was different from one you are having since i could not locate a similar one in my lab.

Thanks,

Madhu.

[kelvinffhan]

I think we bought the wrong switches instead of Lan Base. We purchase Lan Lite. 

[Madhukrishnan Gopinathan Nair]

Hi Kelvin,

This is what i was suspecting that it could be a license issue. But for 2960X the feature set is bound to the hardware model itself and we cannot upgrade the feature set. So I think you need may buy WS-C2960X-24TS-L  

Thanks,

Madhu.

This is the issue. I have upgraded to 15.0(2a)EX5 but still no luck.

I think Cehill said is correct..

it should be remote-span

Thanks,
