I wonder if "debug span tree" is the one that shows the packets?
Any chance you could try for me?? ;-] You would have to have bridging
enabled on a couple routers or a router connected to a switch.
I am interested in the output. I want to see the actual packet and document
the output, because the Cisco documentation is wrong. Not only does it not
mention the required argument, but it explains the output incorrectly. A
missing carriage return messed it up for them. (If there's a carriage
return after "ST: Ether4," then their explanation works. I see these sorts
of errors as an opportunity! ;-)
To see what I'm babbling about, check
