[c-nsp] SPAN for POS?

[David Prall]

Last time I did this, you had to use a 10GE port with the POS interface. You
can then put the 10GE into another box and do a redirect to an etherchannel.
You can even loop the 10GE back into the same router/switch if you so
desire, but it gets a little more complicated.
