Configuring the Mini Protocol Analyzer on the Switch
Adding Multiple Network Analyzers to an RSPAN Session
You can attach multiple network analyzers (probes) to the same RSPAN session. For example, in
Figure 49-6, you can add probe 3 in Switch B to monitor RSPAN VLAN 901 using the set rspan
destination 1/2 901 command. Similarly, you could add the source ports to Switch C.
