Chapter 5: Local Management5-826H123-50 and 6H133-37 User’s Guide5.23 PORT REDIRECT FUNCTION SCREENThe Port Redirect Function screen, Figure 5-29, enables the user to seteach one of the ports on the 6H123-50 and 6H133-37 as a source ordestination port. Any port can be set to have one or more destinationports. For example, port 1 can be set as a source port with threedestinations, ports 2, 3, and 4. Traffic from port 1 is then automaticallyredirected to ports 2, 3, and 4. Port 1 can also serve as a destination portfor other ports. The port redirect function is extremely useful fortroubleshooting purposes, as it allows traffic to be sent to a particularport(s) where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all currenttraffic from the source port(s) can be examined. Table 5-5 shows theCONN/port organization.Port Redirect operates at a switch interface level and not at a repeater portlevel. If traffic is redirected to interfaces that include active repeater portsthen the redirected traffic is transmitted out all of the repeater portsconnected to the interface.Table 5-5 CONN/Port Organization6H123-50 6H133-37CONN 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.
