The various SPAN agent types differ in their mirror targets (i.e., physical port netdev vs. VLAN netdev) and the encapsulation headers that they need to encapsulate the mirrored packets with. The Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 ASICs support a SPAN agent type that is able to mirror towards the CPU, whereas the Spectrum-1 ASIC does not. Prepare for the addition of this new SPAN agent type by splitting the SPAN agent operations to be per-ASIC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
