Port Redirect Function Screen

5.24PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN

NOTE

The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available depending on the operational mode that has been set for the module. Refer to your Release Notes to see what operational modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to

Section 5.15.9, Setting the Operational Mode, for instructions on configuring the operational mode of the module.

The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-30, allows the user to set each one of the ports on the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 as a source or destination port. A port can be set to have one or more destination ports. For example, port 1 can be set as a source port with three destinations, ports 2, 3, and 4. Traffic from port 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and 4. Port 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports. The port redirect function is extremely useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particular port(s) where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the source port(s) can be examined.

NOTE

Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired, errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.

Access the Port Redirect Function screen from the Module Specific Configuration Menu screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION menu item and pressing ENTER. The Port Redirect Function screen displays.
