Regenerate Traffic to Any Set of Monitor Ports

Director can be used like a Regeneration Tap, copying traffic from a Network port (or aggregated group of Network

ports) to multiple Monitor ports. The filter add command is used to do this. The only difference from using the command

to connect a single or multiple Network ports to a single Monitor port is that a list of Monitor ports is specified.

To regenerate traffic from Network Port 1 to Monitor Ports 3, 4, and 5:

Enter

1.

filter add in_ports=n1.1 action=redir redir_ports=m.3-m.5. The regeneration connection is pending.

Enter

2.

filter commit. The regeneration connection is activated.
