Connecting 2 JGS524Ev2 Smart Switches over single cable - with mirror port to work across both units
Hello. I have 2 JGS524Ev2 switches on separate floors, with 1 cable.
I also have this unit: https://www.dualcomm.com/collections/network-tap/products/gigabit-copper-network-tap, which sits bet...
Please read this thread. This will not work since the switch does not support RSPAN.
RSPAN allows you to monitor traffic from source ports distributed over multiple switches, which means that you can centralize your network capture devices.
You need to setup port mirroring tper switches. The computer connected to SW2 with packet sniffer can see source ports of SW2 not SW1.
JGS524Ev2 is a smart manage plus switch.
You might want to configure a dedicated VLAN spanning both switches (tagged trunk ports), and two ports untagged for this network (one on each switch) where you connect the tap resp. the sniffer. To ensure enough bandwidth is available, a LAG for the trunk should be considered.
