I'm trying to setup RSPAN on my switches to point to a network analyzer tool on one of the switches. Here's the scenario:

Switch 1 (C2950T EI)
Router connection
Hosts

Switch 2 (same model)
Hosts
Network Analyzer

What I want is to monitor both rx and tx from all ports on all switches and report those to my network analyzer. There's no seperate vlans only the management vlan and the RSPAN vlan on the switches.

Here's the way I think it should be configured:

Switch 1
vlan 999
remote-span
monitor session 1 source vlan 1
monitor session 1 destination rmeove vlan 999

Switch 2
vlan 999
remote-span
monitor session 1 source vlan 999
monitor session 1 destination int fa 0/24

These two switches are daisy-chained together.

Whenever I am on switch 1 trying to enter the monitor session 1 source vlan 1 I keep getting an error and whenever I type a ? to look at the syntax I don't see a vlan option.

Am I doing something wrong?

Please help. I'm a entry level switch engineer and I'm kind of doing this on the fly so any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
