Port Redirect Screen
The Port R edirect Screen, Figure 4, allows a user to set each fron t p anel port as a
source or des tination port. Fr ames received on th e source port c an be redirected to
the destination p o rt. For example, port 1 can be set as the source port with po rt 2
as the destination port. Frames from p ort 1 are the n automatically redirected to
port 2. The port redirect function is useful for troubleshooting purposes, as it
allows traffic to b e 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 th e Module 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 a ll frames on th e
source port.
