Usage Guidelines
•
Use the no form of this command to remove redirect linkagg from the policy action.
•
When redirecting routed traffic from VLAN A to VLAN B, the redirect link aggregate ID must belong
to VLAN B (tagged or default VLAN).
•
Routed packets (from VLAN A to VLAN B) are not modified after they are redirected; the source and
MAC address remain the same. In addition, if the redirect link aggregate ID is tagged, the redirected
packets will have a tag from the ingress VLAN A.
•
If a route exists for the redirected flow, then redirected packets are the final post-routing packets.
•
If a route does not exist for the redirected flow, the flow is not redirected to the specified link aggre-
gate ID and is "blackholed". As soon as a route is available, the flow is then redirected as specified in
the policy.
•
In most cases, a redirected flow will not trigger an update to the routing and ARP tables. If necessary,
create a static route for the flow or assign the redirect port or link aggregate ID to the ingress VLAN
(VLAN A) to send packets to the redirect port until a route is available.
•
When redirecting bridged traffic on VLAN A, the redirect port or link aggregate ID must belong to
VLAN A (tagged or default VLAN).
