Hello Experts,
Apologies for the straightforward question. I'm curious about the distinctions between a span port and broadcast packets.
Let's consider a scenario where we have a switch with multiple source links connected to it, and a single link connected to another device that listens to all the broadcasts.
Alternatively, imagine a setup where there's a switch with multiple source links connected and a single destination port configured for mirroring.
Or let's say we have a switch with multiple source links, each in its respective VLAN, and one port functioning as a trunk, carrying information from multiple links and sending everything to a listening device.
I understand this might seem like a basic question, but I would greatly appreciate it if someone could enlighten me on the differences between these three scenarios
