Traditionally, at least one of them would need to be on the switch
where the SPAN port is. But they didn't both need to be, and with
modern IOS-based switches I believe you can SPAN remotely.
The traditional SPN config came in two flavours: traffic to/from
a specific port, or to/from a specific VLAN. The latter applies to
all ports in the VLAN....

Subject: SPAN Port
Hello everyone,
Just out of interest, would the SPAN port on a switch
replicate traffic between the computers as well as the uplink
port. Say if 192.168.0.39 talks to 192.168.0.38, will the
SPAN port replicate the traffic between the two computers if
they were on the same switch AND if they were on different switches?
Thanks,
Binks
