Port Redirect Function Screen

5.16PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN

The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-21, allows the user to set each one of the ports 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.

Port Redirect function is not supported in 802.1Q mode.

To access the Port Redirect Function screen from the Device Specific Configuration Menu screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION menu item and press ENTER. The Port Redirect Function screen displays.
