SPAN port validation

Hi there - Would anybody be willing to let me know if my SPAN port is configured correctly? I believe that it is configured correctly but I am looking for somobody to just look it over just to make sure that I am not missing something. Currently we have two core switches (3560-24TS) and 10 access switches (3560-48PS) and 2 2950 access swithes. I am trying to capture all of the VOIP traffic through the network which is configured on VLAN10. Here is how the SPAN is currently configured:

SWITCH 1

CORESW01#sh run | be monitor

monitor session 2 source interface Gi0/1 - 25 rx

monitor session 2 filter vlan 10

monitor session 2 destination remote vlan 500

CORESW01#sh monitor

Session 2

---------

Type : Remote Source Session

Source Ports :

RX Only : Gi0/1-25

Filter VLANs : 10

Dest RSPAN VLAN : 500

CORESW01#sh vlan remote-span

Remote SPAN VLANs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

500-501

SWITCH 2

CORESW02#sh run | be monitor

monitor session 1 source interface Gi0/1 - 25 rx

monitor session 1 filter vlan 10

monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 500

CORESW02#sh monitor

Session 1

---------

Type : Remote Source Session

Source Ports :

RX Only : Gi0/1-25

Filter VLANs : 10

Dest RSPAN VLAN : 500

CORESW02#sh vlan remote-span

Remote SPAN VLANs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

500-501

######################################################################################

SWITCH 3

SW03#sh run | be monitor

monitor session 1 destination interface Gi0/3 - 4

monitor session 1 source remote vlan 500

SW01#sh monitor

Session 1

---------

Type : Remote Destination Session

Source RSPAN VLAN : 500

Destination Ports : Gi0/3-4

Encapsulation : Native

Ingress : Disabled

SW01#sh vlan remote-span

Remote SPAN VLANs

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

500-501

The sniffer is connected to port Gi0/3 on switch 3 and all of the access switches are plugged into both of the core switches. If somebody could please take a looks and let me know if I am missing something or if it looks solid I would appreciate it as there have been accusations that the SPAN port is not seeing all of the traffic. Thank you so much.

I think your configured is absolutely correct. It has to work. Each time that you issue a new set span command, the previous configuration is invalidated.
