i set up a monitoring session between a 3550 and a 2960 to capture dot1d activity using wireshark... the interface of the pc is connected to g0/1 of the 2960 and set as the destination for monitoring from the g0/21 port on the 2960...the 3550 and 2960 are connected through fiber between g0/21 (2960) and g0/11 (3550)
sw2960#sh run int g0/21
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 60 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/21
switchport mode trunk
end
sw3550#sh run int g0/11
Building configuration...
Current configuration : 98 bytes
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/11
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
end
nothing special there on the trunk... monitoring is set up on the 2960 as such:
sw2960#sh run
begin monitor
monitor session 1 source interface Gi0/21
monitor session 1 destination interface Gi0/1 encapsulation replicate
end
sw2960(config)#monitor session 1 source int g0/21 both
notice i used the "both" command in the argument for int g0/21... both is the default...
do sh int g0/1 to ensure that it monitors:
sw2960#sh int g0/1
GigabitEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is down (monitoring)
Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is 001e.79cd.9281 (bia 001e.79cd.9281)
then i changed the root to be vlan 1 on the 2960... let's prove it through wireshark...
the root identifier is now that of the 2960...
the extension id is 1 indicating vlan 1
the port identifier is is 0x8015 15hex = 21 decimal or port 21
sw2960#sh spann
VLAN0001
