RE: SPAN Port

["David Gillett" <gillettdavid () fhda edu>]

  Traditionally, at least one of them would need to be on the switch
where the SPAN port is.  But they didn't both need to be, and with
modern IOS-based switches I believe you can SPAN remotely.

  The traditional SPN config came in two flavours:  traffic to/from
a specific port, or to/from a specific VLAN.  The latter applies to
all ports in the VLAN....
