Configuring the Front Panel Repeater Port Association

!

CAUTION

Using the Port Association option for the IRM2, you can set which of the IRM2’s front panel ports will act as a repeater interface for a connected network segment.

Before selecting this option, be sure that you will not disrupt network activity. If you disconnect the segment with which you are communicating with the IRM2, you will lose contact with the device, and you will have to reset the original port association through local management.

To change the port association:

1.Click on Port 1 or Port 2 on Board 1 (the IRM2 module). The Port pull-down menu will appear.

2.Click on Port Association.... The Port Association window, Figure 2-9, will appear.
