User Guidelines
The IP address is the address of the monitoring station on which the GRE
traffic is recorded/decoded. An ERSPAN flow is identified by the IP address
and ERSPAN ID.
The IP address and the ERSPAN identifier in the source and destination
switch configuration must be the same. On the destination switch, the IP
address must identify a station that is on a reachable subnet.
ERSPAN utilizes separate source and destination sessions. This command is
configured on the source switch and the destination switch.
