Module Selection Screen

8.Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE to step to the appropriate interface number for the destination interface.

9.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Errors field.

10.Use the SPACE bar to select either the ON or OFF option and press ENTER. ON forces the source module and port to forward errored frames to the destination module(s) and port(s). OFF forces the errored to be dropped before forwarding traffic.

11.Use the arrow keys to highlight the Status field.

12.Use the SPACE bar to select either the ADD or DEL (delete) option. Press ENTER. This adds or deletes the interface selections made in steps 2 and 4 and also updates, but does not save, the screen Source Interface, Destination Interface, and Remap Errors list.

NOTE

If more than one module and interface is to be redirected, repeat steps 1 through 12 for each additional setting, then go to step 13 to save all the new settings at once.

13.Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE at the bottom of the screen. Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” is displayed. This saves the new settings and updates the Source Module, Source Port, Destination Module, Destination Port, and Remap Errors read-only fields.
