You don't need to do this at all, since you can just disable mac learning
per vlan. This was just in case the platform didn't support disabling
mac address learning per vlan, where remote-span comes in handy.

Now, it doesn't work on access ports, thats correct. You would have
to reconfigure the port into a trunk to be able to do that.
