Regenerate Traffic to Any Set of Monitor Ports
Director can be used like a Regeneration Tap, copying traffic from a Network port (or aggregated group of Network ports) to multiple Monitor ports. The filter add command is used to do this. The only difference from using the command to connect a single or multiple Network ports to a single Monitor port is that a list of Monitor ports is specified.
To regenerate traffic from Network Port 1 to Monitor Ports 3, 4, and 5:
1.Enter filter add in_ports=n1.1 action=redir
2.Enter filter commit. The regeneration connection is activated.

To aggregate traffic from Network Port 10 and Network Port 11 and regenerate the resulting stream to Monitor Ports 9 and 10:
1.Enter filter add in_ports=n1.10,n1.11 action=redir redir_ports=m.9,m.10. The aggregation/regeneration connection is pending.
2.Enter filter commit. The aggregation/regeneration connection is activated.
