Port Redirect Configuration Screen

5.6.1Changing Source and Destination Ports

To add or delete source port and destination port entries and set the Frame Format and Redirect Errors functions, proceed as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Source Port field near the bottom of the screen.

2.Press the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE key one or more times to increment or decrement the port number displayed in the brackets [n] until the appropriate port number displays.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Destination Port field near the bottom of the screen.

4.Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE key to step to the appropriate port number for the destination port.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Frame Format field near the bottom of the screen.

6.Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE key to step to the appropriate frame format setting (NORMAL, TAGGED, or UNTAGGED) for the selected Destination Port.

7.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Redirect Errors field near the bottom of the screen.

8.Use the SPACE bar to select either the ON or OFF option and press ENTER. The ON selection forces the source port to forward errored frames to the destination port(s). OFF forces the errored frames to be dropped before forwarding traffic.

9.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Status field.

10.Use the SPACE bar to select either the ADD or DEL (delete) option. Press ENTER. This adds or deletes the selections for the Source Port, Destination Port, Frame Format, and Redirect Errors made in steps 1 through 8 and also updates the screen.

TIP: If more than 1 port is being redirected, repeat steps 1 through 10 for each additional setting. Then go to step 11 to save all the new settings at once.

If an entry is to be changed, delete the entry, save the screen, then recreate the entry with its new settings.

NOTE: Any combination, up to 128, of port redirect instances (configured on the Port Redirect Configuration screen) and/or VLAN redirect instances (configured on the VLAN Redirect Configuration screen) can be configured.
