I want to redirect flows based on port numbers. Is there a way to achieve that?

Kawawa, Did you actually try to do this or did you just quote the manual?

Has anyone had success?

I am trying to redirect back to the sending port and the whole "echo kill overide" thing was removed from the newr manuals I am running 15.6. Was this because the wording of both "egress port change" and "overides echo kill" is redundant or because it doesn't work and is it not possible? However, I cannot get redirection to any other ports, either. Which seems like it never worked to begin with. If you google this topic there are several messages found where people ask the question but no one ever answers - or extreme goes out and sanitizes the answers so they can get paid for them. Any one know?

entry cdnal {
if {
#SUBSTITUTE A VALID MAC ADDRESS
ethernet-destination-address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
} then {
#default action
permit;
redirect-port-list 1,4;
count cdnal;

}
}
entry cdnac {
if {
#SUBSTITUTE A VALID MAC ADDRESS
ethernet-destination-address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
} then {
#default action
permit;
redirect-port-list 3,4;
count cdnac;
}
}
entry cdnar {
if {
#SUBSTITUTE A VALID MAC ADDRESS
ethernet-destination-address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX;
} then {
#default action
permit;
redirect-port-list 5,4;
count cdnar;
}
}

Tried applying both as an access-list to a vlan or redirect-port-list to a vlan or port-list. Amyriad of combinatoins has been attempted and not one frame was ever seen redirected. My counters count. But monitoring any segment of the structure with wireshark (and an old HUB) I never see anything sent back to the sender.

I would suggest contacting the GTAC if you still have some questions outstanding.
