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.

Branches, Part II

Now that we’ve covered the mechanics behind Git branches, we can discuss the practical impact that they have on the software development process. Instead of introducing new commands, this module covers how the typical Git user applies this workflow to real projects, as well as some of the problems that arise in a branched environment. To Git, a branch is a branch, but it’s often useful to assign special meaning to different branches. For example, we’ve been using master as the stable branch for our example project, and we’ve also used a temporary branch to add some CSS formatting. Temporary branches like the latter are called topic branches because they exist to develop a certain topic, then they are deleted. We’ll work with two types of topic branches later in this module. Amid our exploration of Git branches, we’ll also discover that some merges cannot be “fast-forwarded.” When the history of two branches diverges, a dedicated commit is required to combine the branches. This ...

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...
