Port Redirect Function Screen2H23-50R/2H33-37R User’s Guide5-575.15 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREENThe Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-22, enables the user to seteach Network, Fast Ethernet, or HSIM port as a source or destinationport. 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. Table 5-6 showsthe port organization.The port redirect function is extremely useful for troubleshootingpurposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particular port(s) where, withthe use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all current traffic from the sourceport(s) can be examined.NOTEThe Port Redirect Function screen can only be used if theoperational mode of the device has been set to 802.1DSWITCHING. Refer to Section 5.7.9, Setting the OperationalMode, for instructions on configuring the device to operate inthis mode.Table 5-6 CONN/Port Organization2H23-50R 2H33-37RCONN 1 = Network Port 1, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 2, 100 MbpsCONN 1 = Network Port 1, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 2, 100 MbpsCONN 2 = Network Port 3, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 4, 100 MbpsCONN 2 = Network Port 3, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 4, 100 MbpsCONN 3 = Network Port 5, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 6, 100 MbpsCONN 3 = Network Port 5, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 6, 100 MbpsCONN 4 = Network Port 7, 10 MbpsNetwork Port 8, 100 MbpsHSIM = Port 7Fast Ethernet Slot 5 = Port 9Fast Ethernet Slot 6 = Port 10NOTEAlthough all traffic from the source port (including, if desired,errored frames) is sent to the destination port, normal switchingis still performed for all frames on the source port.
