PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREEN
, allows the user to set 
each network port (ENET 1 through 4, port 5, and port 6) as a source or 
destination port. (ENETs 1 through 4 are shown as 1 through 4 on the 
screen.) 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.
NOTE
The Port Redirect Function screen can only be used if the 
operational mode of the device has been set to 802.1D 
SWITCHING
. Refer to 
, for instructions on configuring the device to operate in 
this mode.
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.
