Switch Feature Overview 91
Dell EMC Networking N-Series switches support RSPAN destinations where
traffic can be tunneled across the operational network. Mirrored traffic is
flooded in the RSPAN VLAN from the source(s) to the destination(s) across
any intermediate switches. This allows the administrator flexibility in
connecting destination (probe) ports to the RSPAN. RSPAN does not support
configuration of the CPU port as a source.
For information about configuring port mirroring, see "Monitoring Switch
Traffic" on page 577.
Static and Dynamic MAC Address Tables
Static entries can be added to the switch’s MAC address table and the aging
time can be configured for entries in the dynamic MAC address table. Entries
can also be searched in the dynamic table based on several different criteria.
For information about viewing and managing the MAC address table, see
"MAC Addressing and Forwarding" on page 1155.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
The IEEE 802.1AB defined standard, Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP),
allows the switch to advertise major capabilities and physical descriptions.
This information can be used to help identify system topology and detect bad
configurations on the LAN.
For information about configuring LLDP, settings see "Discovering Network
Devices" on page 897.
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for Media Endpoint Devices
The Link Layer Discovery Protocol for Media Endpoint Devices (LLDP-
MED) provides an extension to the LLDP standard for network configuration
and policy, device location, and Power over Ethernet.
For information about configuring LLDP-MED, settings see "Discovering
Network Devices" on page 897.
