5.7 VLAN REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN
When to Use
To select a source VLAN ID and a destination port. For example, VLANID 1 can be set as the
source VLAN with port 2 as the destination port. Traffic from VLAN ID 1 is then automatically
redirected to port 2 according to the Frame Format setting for that source VLAN. The Frame
Format setting determines the format in which the frames received belonging to the source VLAN
are redirected to the destination port. The frames can be forwarded in the frame format as received,
tagged, or untagged.
The VLAN redirect function is useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic associated
with a particular VLAN to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON
probe, all current traffic from the source VLAN can be examined.
NOTE: Although traffic associated with a particular VLAN is sent to the destination port,
normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.
The Redirect Errors function is not supported on this screen.
