The following configuration is what was applied to a Comware switch with ERSPAN
support. The resulting ERSPAN inbound trafic is attached as a single packet
PCAP file. Comware uses a GRE tunnel as a mirror target to accomplish ERSPAN
functionality. Wireshark reports the below an ERSPAN "unknown version" and
appears to stop parsing due to this. Trafic is being transported over GRE and
wireshark sees windows sending ICMP unreachable since there is GRE listening on
the OS.

 port link-mode bridge
 stp disable
 port service-loopback group 1
#
interface Tunnel0
 ip address 50.1.1.1 255.255.255.0

#

Can you please advise whether a small adjustment could make this work of if
Comware needs to implement this differently?

Thanks,
Mat
