5.15 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-22, allows you to set each
interface as a source or destination interface on the 2H22-08R. An
interface can be set to have one or more destination interfaces. For
example, interface 1 can be set as a source interface with three
destinations, interfaces 2, 3, and 4. Traffic from interface 1 is then
automatically redirected to interfaces 2, 3, and 4. Interface 1 can also
serve as a destination interface for other ports.
The port redirect function is extremely useful for troubleshooting
purposes, as it enables traffic to be sent to a particular interface(s) where,
with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the
source interface(s) can be examined.
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen is only used if the
operational mode of the device has been set to 802.1d
SWITCHING. Refer to Section 5.7.9, Setting the Operational
Mode for instructions on configuring the device to operate in
this mode.
NOTE
Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired,
error frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching is
still performed for all frames on the source port.
