Cabletron Systems 2H33-37R User Manual

, enables the user to set 

each Network, Fast Ethernet, or HSIM port 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. 

 shows 

the port organization.

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.

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.

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.
