Port Redirect Function Screen
6H122-16 User’s Guide 5-79
5.23 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-32, allows the user to set
each one of the ports on the 6H122-16 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.
To access the Port Redirect Function screen from the Module Specific
Configuration screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the PORT
REDIRECT FUNCTION menu item and press ENTER. The Port
Redirect Function screen displays.
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available
depending on the operational mode that has been set for the
module. Refer to your Release Notes to see what operational
modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to
Section 5.15.9 for instructions on configuring the operational
mode of the module.
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.
