[c-nsp] VPLS and RSPAN fun

[Jason Lixfeld]

You may not be able to.

But, what I've done in the past with success is use a loopback cable with an EoMPLS PW i.e.: 

ASR920:
Physically loop Gi0/1 to Gi0/2
monitor session 1 source int gi0/3 dest int gi0/2
Int gi0/1
Xconnect 1.1.1.1 69 encap mpls

Box connected to wireshark:
Int gi0/1
Description wireshark
Xconnect 2.2.2.2 69 encap mpls

Voila.

On the other side of the VPNv4/l2VPN cloud I have a wireshark box sitting and listening on an interface. I want to be able to take a capture snap from one of the ASR920, using RSPAN (ERSPAN is not supported on ASR920), dump it into the VPLS domain and deliver it on the other side of the cloud to the wireshark.
