Overview of Redirection
Modular QoS Command-Line Interface (MQC) can be used to implement redirection.
Redirection is the process of redirecting packets that match traffic classification rules to a different destination.
The CE12800E does not support redirection to an observing interface group and redirection to a label switched path (LSP).
- Redirection to the CPU: redirects packets to the CPU.
- Redirection to an interface: redirects packets to a specified interface by which packets need to be processed or through which packets are sent to a specified device. This action takes effect for only packets forwarded at Layer 2.
- Redirection to an observing interface group: redirects packets to an observing interface group that contains interfaces of a group of servers or firewalls when packets need to be analyzed and detected by the servers or firewalls.
- Redirection to a label switched path (LSP): redirects packets to a public LSP so that packets are forwarded on the MPLS network.
Redirection to a next hop address: redirects packets to a next hop address when the received packets need to be processed by a downstream device. For details about PBR, see "PBR Configuration" in CloudEngine 12800 and 12800E Series Switches Configuration Guide - IP Routing.
