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.
The switch mirror port data can't be forwarded over the network - it's intended to be used locally.
I still don't understand now how the Datacom Tap and the description you have on your schema comes into the play - because it's 180° different from what you request now.
I'm trying to get the data from the dualcomm from floor 1 to floor 0.
I already have a mirror / sniffer on floor 0. Need this to inspect data from dualcomm from floor 1.
I don't think I have changed my description, but if I did, I'm sorry. That is really the only goal. Data from dualcomm on floor 1 to be inspected on floor 0. How do I get that data to show up on a port on floor 0, so it can be inspected on floor 0?

As I said - no need to configure any mirror ports. Create a VLAN and configure accordingly so you have a virtual "cable" from the Tap to the Sniffer.
But we're looping here... also if you had high end managed switches with RSPAN this would not be required for your purpose - which is in brief replace a simple network cable from the Tap to the Sniffer.
Thank you. I appreicate your reply.
