SPAN or RSPAN support or alternatives

[Adam]

For call recording does anyone have any workarounds or knowledge of spanning or mirroring.  I've done the standard port mirroring but it is limited to a single switch/stack.  I'm thinking spanning or remote spanning would be more ideal.

your tracking internal calls? maybe you can forse calls to go through your pbx and capture there.

[Adam]

Both internal and external.  All external calls go though the pbx so we can just mirror that port.  But internal calls don't.

This might end up a bit ugly.  You can mirror multiple source ports to a destination port.  I think you are going to have to do this.

I can definitely select multiple ports from multiple members of a switch stack.

We have the same need, call recording for internal clients. Mirroring many ports to one for me is a workaround not a solution unfortunately. Every desk setup consist in one lan port connected to an ip-phone and a thin client or a PC is daisy chain throught the phone to get connected to the network. Mirroring all the ports will result in mirroring lots of unwanted traffic from many Vlans.

We are currently using a 2960x (2 of them in stack) to mirrror the Voice Vlan for recording purpose, very annoying since that is the only non-meraki device in the network and is sitting between the access and the core switches, I have already "made a wish" with Meraki to introduce this functionality in the future if you are interested please do the same 🙂
