Port Redirect Screen

The Port Redirect Screen, Figure 4, a llows a user to set each front panel port as a source or destination port. Frames received on the source port can be redirected to the destination port. For example, p ort 1 c an be s e t as the source port with port 2 as the d es tination port. Frames from port 1 are then automatically redirected to port 2. The port redirect function is useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the source port can be examined.

To access the Port Redirect screen, go to the Modu le Configuration Screen. Then, select the Port Redirect option.

Note: Although all traffic from the source port (including errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switching is still performed for all frames on the source port.
