5.11.1 Displaying the Source and Destination Entries

There can be more than one Port Redirect Function screen depending on the number of port redirect entries. Each screen displays up to ten port redirect entries. If there is more than one screen of redirect entries, the NEXT and/or PREVIOUS command is displayed at the bottom of the screen, allowing the user to navigate to the next or previous screen.

For example, with three screens of entries, the NEXT command is displayed at the bottom of the first screen. In the second screen, the NEXT and PREVIOUS commands are displayed. In the last screen, only the PREVIOUS command is displayed.

To display the next screen, use the arrow keys to highlight NEXT. Press ENTER and the next screen of entries is displayed.

To display the previous screen, use the arrow keys to highlight PREVIOUS. Press ENTER to view the entries in the previous screen.

5.11.2 Changing Source and Destination Ports

Add or delete source/destination module and port entries as follows:

1.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Source Module field.

2.Press the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE one or more times to increment or decrement the module number displayed in the brackets [n] until the appropriate module number is displayed.

3.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Source Port field.

4.Press the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE one or more times to increment or decrement the interface number displayed in the brackets [n] until the appropriate interface number is displayed.

5.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Destination Module field.

6.Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE to step to the appropriate module number for the destination module.

7.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Destination Port field.
