PORT REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN
When to Use
To select a source module and port as well as a destination module and port to add a new Port 
Redirect or to delete an existing one. Source and destination ports can only be used in one redirect 
instance, and only installed and available modules and ports will appear in the selectable fields. 
Frames received on the source port can be redirected in a particular frame format, and any frames 
with errors can be either dropped or forwarded to the destination port. For example, port 1 can be 
set as the source port with port 2 as the destination port. Frames from port 1 are then automatically 
redirected to port 2 according to a particular frame format, and frames with errors can be either 
forwarded or dropped according to the screen settings.
The port redirect function is extremely 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.
How to Access
Use the arrow keys to highlight the PORT REDIRECT CONFIGURATION menu item on the 
Redirect Configuration Menu screen and press ENTER. The Port Redirect Configuration screen, 
, displays.
