Redirect Vlan Traffic To Server

[ricardorojas123]

How I can redirect all traffic from a specific VLAN to a  dedicated server (proxy), The network is very simply, The hosts are connected to a Switch 2960, and the Switch is connected to Cisco Router 2800, this Router is the actual Gateway.

Thanks

If the gateway for the vlan in question is the router then you can just use policy based routing to redirect the traffic to the server...but the server will need to know what to do with the traffic i.e. routing might be required on the server.

What exactly do you want to use the proxy for? Web traffic? Or somehting different? What type of proxy do you have on your network?

Thinking about it, it might not be as simple as it seems...I'm gonna have to have a think...sleeping on it always helps

Well I was thinking in the lines of WCCP or ACE redirect...not sure if with the equipment you have it is possible. You can try policy based routing to send the traffic from a VLAN to the server but I don't know if it will work i.e. the server will receive the traffic but not sure how it will react or where it will send the return traffic.

I haven't got the opportunity to try it myself.
