PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN

The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available
NOTE
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
on configuring the operational mode of the module.
The Port Redirect Function screen,
each one of the ports on the 6H122-08 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.
Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired,
NOTE
errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching
is still performed for all frames on the source port.
