each port as source or destination ports. 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.
Although all traffic from the source port (including errored
NOTE
frames, if desired) is sent to the destination port, normal
switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.
