receive a message in the white status bar near the bottom of the screen that indicates whether or not the change was accepted. Highlight the value next to Monitor Port Rx and hit the hit the Enter key. Enter the number of the port that you wish to mirror the received transmissions to (if you are mirroring received transmissions), and hit the Enter key again. You will receive a message in the white status bar near the bottom of the screen that indicates whether or not the change was accepted. Only one port may be mirrored (transmissions and received transmissions) at a time.
Note: The two Gigabit ports may only mirror each other, because of their speed. Do not attempt to mirror a Gigabit port to a regular port, or you will overload that port, causing your Switch to malfunc- tion.
Once you have made all the changes you wish to make, highlight Return and hit the Enter key to return to the Main Menu.
The VLAN Configuration Menu
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a method of separating some of the ports of a switch or hub into a smaller subgroup and making this group its own network. The VLAN Configuration Menu screen (shown here), allows you to view or change the following values:
EtherFast® Dual Gigabit with
•Link Status and Admin Status - Same as the other 24 ports. See the beginning of this section.
•Auto Negotiate - This value is automatically determined for these two ports by the Switch and cannot be changed by the user.
•Speed/Duplex - This value is automatically determined for these two ports by the Switch and cannot be changed by the user.
•Flow Control - (Off - BothWay - SendOnly - Rcv/BothWay) Flow control for the Gigabit ports is slightly more complex because of the greater speed involved. Flow control for these two ports can be disabled (Off), set to monitor both transmitting and receiving (BothWay), set to monitor just the transmitting (SendOnly), or just the receiving (Rcv/BothWay). To change the value, highlight the desired port under Flow Control and press the Space Bar key. This will toggle back and forth between the 4 different options. Once you have made your choice, press the Enter key. You will receive a message in the white status bar near the bottom of the screen that indicates whether or not the change was accepted. The default setting for this value is Off.
Once you have made all the changes you wish to make, highlight Return and hit the Enter key to return to the Main Menu.
