Configuring traffic redirecting

Traffic redirecting is the action of redirecting the packets matching the specific match criteria to a certain
location for processing.
The following redirect actions are supported:
Redirecting traffic to the CPU—Redirects packets that require processing by the CPU to the CPU.
•
• Redirecting traffic to an interface—Redirects packets that require processing by an interface to the
interface. Note that this action applies to only Layer 2 packets, and the target interface must be a
Layer 2 interface.
Redirecting traffic to the next hop—Redirects packets that require processing by an interface to the
•
interface. This action only applies to Layer 3 packets.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

The actions of redirecting traffic to the CPU, redirecting traffic to an interface, and redirecting traffic
•
to the next hop are mutually exclusive with each other in the same traffic behavior.
A QoS policy with traffic redirecting actions can be applied to only the inbound direction of a port,
•
VLAN, or all ports.
You can use the display traffic behavior user-defined command to view the traffic redirecting
•
configuration.

Configuration procedure

To configure traffic redirecting:
Step
1. Enter system view.
2. Create a class and enter
class view.
3. Configure match criteria.
4. Return to system view.
5. Create a behavior and

8. Create a policy and enter
policy view.
