Bridge RSPAN over GRE (without using ERSPAN)?

packetjockey
Level 1
Level 1

The overall goal is to have a method of fine granular sniffing (VACL) and transporting the 'sniffed' traffic over an IP network.

Equipment I have is a cat3550 running c3550-ipservicesk9-mz.122-25.SEE3. I know ERSPAN exists (6500 w/ sup720) but I want this done on a 3550 (this is the challenging part).

I've been attempting to get this done by bridging the rspan vlan over a gre tunnel. I have not had much success with this. GRE tunnel works just fine, rspan vlan is just not being bridged over it.

Just to test the ability of bridging a rspan vlan, I was able to bridge the rspan vlan to another vlan. I took this same concept and attempted to bridge the rspan vlan over a gre tunnel... no luck with this yet.

Any ideas on how this could be done? Thanks.

RSPAN source sessions do not copy locally sourced RSPAN VLAN traffic from source trunk ports that carry RSPAN VLANs. RSPAN source sessions do not copy locally sourced RSPAN GRE-encapsulated traffic from source ports.

Each RSPAN source session can have either ports or VLANs as sources, but not both. The RSPAN source session copies traffic from the source ports or source VLANs and switches the traffic over the RSPAN VLAN to the RSPAN destination session. The RSPAN destination session switches the traffic to the destination ports
