How to configure SPAN and RSPAN in Cisco Catalyst switches

span

Switch#conf t
Switch(config)#monitor session 1 source interface Gi0/1 rx
Switch(config)#monitor session 1 destination interface Gi0/2
Switch(config)#end
 
Rspan
 
(Source switch)
Switch1#conf t
Switch1(config)#vlan 30
Switch1(config-vlan)#name RSPAN-Vlan
Switch1(config-vlan)#remote-span
Switch1(config-vlan)#exit
Switch1(config)#monitor session 1 source interface Gi0/1 rx
Switch1(config)#monitor session 1 destination remote vlan 30
Switch1(config)#end

Allow vlan id 30 on the trunk port Gi0/2
Switch1#sh run int g0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30
switchport mode trunk

(destination switch)
Switch2#conf t
Switch2(config)#vlan 30
Switch2(config-vlan)#name RSPAN-Vlan
Switch2(config-vlan)#remote-span Switch2(config-vlan)#exit
Switch2(config)#monitor session 1 destination interface Gi0/2
Switch2(config)#monitor session 1 source remote vlan 30
Switch2(config)#end
Allow vlan id 30 on the trunk port Gi0/1
Switch2#sh run int g0/1
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 10,20,30
 switchport mode trunk
With the config above, incoming traffic passing through port Gi0/1 on Switch1 will be mirrored to port Gi0/2 onSwitch2 and captured by a traffic analyzer on compuetr connected to port Gi0/2.

Policy Based Routing on a Cisco ASA

Cisco ASA 9.4 (and later) is now supporting Policy Based Routing. Yeah. Great news, since many customers are requesting something like “HTTP traffic to the left – VoIP traffic to the right”. Coming with a new Cisco ASA 5506-X I was happy to try the policy based routing feature. The configuration steps through the ASDM GUI are not easy and full of errors so I am trying to give some hints within this blog post. The main document from Cisco for policy based routing on a ASA is here . It describes the use-cases for PBR and gives examples. Configuration I am doing all of my configurations through the GUI ASDM. (I know, some people really love the CLI even for configurations, but I don’t. I am using it only for troubleshooting issues.) For this lab I am using a Cisco ASA 5506-X with ASA version 9.5(1), while ASDM is version 7.5(1) . In my lab, I have a default route to ISP 1 (gi1/1) and a different connection to ISP 2 (gi1/2). There is no route to ISP 2 in the ro...
