Forexample, VLAN ID 1 can be set as the source VLAN with port 2 as thedestination port. Traffic from VLAN 1 is then automatically redirected toport 2 according to the Frame Format setting for that source VLAN. TheFrame Format setting determines the format in which the frames receivedbelonging to the source VLAN are redirected to the destination port. Theframes can be forwarded in the frame format as received, tagged, oruntagged.The VLAN redirect function is very useful for troubleshooting purposes.It allows traffic associated with a particular VLAN to be sent to aparticular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, allcurrent traffic from the source VLAN can be examined.TIPIf more than one port is being redirected, repeat steps 1through 10 for each additional setting. Then go to step 11 tosave all the new settings at once.If an entry is to be changed, delete the entry, save the screen,then recreate the entry with its new settings.Any combination, up to 128, of port redirect instances(configured on the Port Redirect Configuration screen) and/orVLAN redirect instances (configured on the VLAN RedirectConfiguration screen) can be configured.NOTEAlthough traffic associated with a particular VLAN is sent to thedestination port, normal switching is still performed for allframes on the source port.The Redirect Errors function is not supported on this screen.
