Feature Limitations

  • A traffic policy that defines the redirection action can only be applied in the inbound direction.

  • In V200R006 and earlier versions, if traffic is redirected to an interface in Down state, traffic is dropped on the interface and cannot be switched to the original forwarding path.

  • In V200R007 and later versions, if traffic is redirected to an interface in Down state and forced is specified in the redirection command, traffic is dropped on the interface and cannot be switched to the original forwarding path. If forced is not specified, traffic is switched to the original forwarding path.
