Redirecting Traffic

The Port Redirect window (Figure 2-19) allows you to redirect traffic from one or more interfaces directly to another interface — essentially mirroring the traffic at the “redirect” interface. This feature is useful in that it allows you to use an external analyzer on the “redirect” port to analyze data, without disturbing the normal switching operations at the original source ports. The Port Redirect window displays the interface remap table and allows you to add new entries to and delete existing entries from this table. When you set a source port to redirect to a destination port, the destination port will transmit out all packets received or transmitted on the source port.

To access the Port Redirect window:

1.In the Chassis View window, select Device>Port Redirect (if you are managing a single device) or Chassis>Port Redirect (if you are managing a chassis with multiple modules). The Port Redirect window, Figure 2-19, appears.
