5.11 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-14, allows the user to set
each one of the modules in the chassis (1 through 5), and the ports of the
corresponding module, as a source or destination port. A port can be set to
have one or more destination ports and chassis module slot numbers. For
example, port 1 in module (slot) 1 can be set as a source port with three
destinations, ports 2, 3, and 4 in module (slot) 3. Traffic from port 1 in
module 1 is then automatically redirected to ports 2, 3, and 4 in module 3.
Port 1 in module 1 can also serve as a destination port for other ports and
modules. 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.
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available
depending on the operational mode that has been set for the
chassis. Refer to the Release Notes to see what operational
modes support the Port Redirect Function. Refer to
Section 5.7.7 for instructions on configuring the operational
modes of all the modules installed in the chassis.
NOTE
The module number corresponds to the slot number in which
the module resides in the 6C105 chassis (1 through 5).
NOTE
Although 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.
