Chapter 29 Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
Configuring SPAN and RSPAN
SPAN and RSPAN and Switch Stacks
Because the stack of switches is treated as one logical switch, local SPAN source ports and destination
ports can be in different switches in the stack. Therefore, the addition or deletion of switches in the stack
can affect a local SPAN session, as well as an RSPAN source or destination session. An active session
can become inactive when a switch is removed from the stack or an inactive session can become active
when a switch is added to the stack.
For more information about switch stacks, see
Chapter 5, “Managing Switch Stacks.”
