Port Redirect Function Screen
6E122-26, 6E132-25, 6E123-26 and 6E133-25 User’s Guide 5-85
5.24 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
The Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-30 , allows the user to set
each one of the ports on the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 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.
Access the Port Redirect Function screen from the Module Specific
Configuration Menu screen by using the arrow keys to highlight the
PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION menu item and pressing ENTER. The
Port Redirect Function
screen displays.
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen may not be available
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 5.15.9 , Setting the Operational Mode , for instructions
on configuring the operational mode of the module.
NOTE
Although all traffic from the source port (including, if desired,
errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching
is still performed for all frames on the source port.
