PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN

The Port Redirect Function screen is only used if the
NOTE

SWITCHING. Refer to

this mode.
The Port Redirect Function screen,
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.
Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired,
NOTE
error frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching is
still performed for all frames on the source port.
