1.6 VLAN REDIRECT CONFIGURATION SCREEN
(CHASSIS)
The VLAN Redirect Configuration screen, Figure 1-6, enables the user to
select a source module and VLAN ID and a destination module and port
as well as add a new VLAN Redirect or delete an existing one. For
example, VLAN ID 1 can be set as the source VLAN ID with port 2 as the
destination port. Traffic from VLAN 1 is then automatically redirected to
port 2 according to the Frame Format setting for that source VLAN. The
Frame Format setting determines the format in which the frames received
belonging to the source VLAN are redirected to the destination port. The
frames can be forwarded in the frame format as received, tagged, or
untagged.
The VLAN redirect function is very useful for troubleshooting purposes,
as it allows traffic associated with a particular VLAN to be sent to a
particular port where, with the use of an analyzer or RMON probe, all
current traffic from the source VLAN can be examined.
To access the VLAN Redirect Configuration screen from the Port
Redirect screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the VLAN REDIRECT
CONFIGURATION menu item and press ENTER. The VLAN Redirect
Configuration screen displays.
NOTE
Although traffic associated with a particular VLAN is sent to the
destination port, normal switching is still performed for all
frames on the source port.
The Redirect Errors function is not supported on this screen.
