Ameen, We've had very good success using Brocade MLX's for this very thing (actually, might be older XMRs, but should be same platform at this point). Check out the transparent-hw-flooding command under a VLAN. It basically turns off mac learning, and just floods it on the vlan's member ports.

Take a look at VACLs on the Cat side. It has a capture feature that is effectively the same as a local SPAN, but without the 2 session limit. If you do a lot of RSPAN though, this wouldn't be your complete answer (VACL captures are local only). VACLs are a bit more granular in defining what's

Hi Ameen, Wouldn#39;t it work to have a switch aggregating your monitor sessions just disable MAC learning? Traffic from a single input interface would be replicated to all other ports on the vlan where learning is disabled. I#39;ve used this with a 3750, and I haven#39;t seen any trouble

How about splitting up a heavy stream (10G) into components (1G) to run through an inline device and reassemble the pieces back to an aggregate afterward? TippingPoint makes a core controller box for this but it's pretty hideously expensive. Could do it with two 6500s but that's pretty

Gigamon has a new product offering that claims to do this (their sales guys just met with me a few days ago and gave me a update on their latest offerings). It's the G-Secure-something or other. We're using the 2404's so I don't have any experience with it. Cheers, Harry On 03/01/2012 10:22

We're doing something similar - VACLs (using the redirect action) with port-channel destinations on a span aggregation 650x. If you've got a spare 650x chassis lying around and your configuration requirements aren't terribly complex/dynamic, you can do monitoring with filtering and load-balancing
