Usage Guidelines
All VSANs with RSPAN traffic must be enabled. If a VSAN containing RSPAN traffic is not enabled, it

The FC tunnel can only be configured in the same subnet as the VSAN interface.
The Fibre Channel tunnel feature must be enabled (the
interface fc-tunnel
command) on
each
switch in
the end-to-end path of the Fibre Channel fabric in which RSPAN is to be implemented.
Note
This command is not supported on the Cisco MDS 9124 switch, the Cisco Fabric Switch for HP c-Class
BladeSystem, and the Cisco Fabric Switch for IBM BladeCenter.
