If the port which is hardware-looped and port which has the
traffic-generator connected to are in different VLAN's, then how can
the traffic flow between those two ports? Or did I misunderstand you..

If I configured VLAN 555 as a remote-span VLAN, then ports were
suspended because access VLAN is remote SPAN VLAN. Or how did you
think this?
