Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the Web-based Interface
4. Configure the Speed/Duplex setting for the port:
IMPORTANT: If you have the ProLiant BL p-Class F-GbE Interconnect Kit option with the
DualTSX Interconnect Modules, the management interface supports only 1000M/Full and Auto
options for the Speed/Duplex fields for the Gigabit uplink ports. The fiber DualTSX Interconnect
Module supports only 1000-Mb/s (Gigabit) speed, and not 10-Mb/s or 100-Mb/s.
— Select Auto to allow the port to select the best transmission speed, duplex mode, and
flow control settings based on the capabilities of the device at the other end. The
other selections allow you to force the port to operate in the specified manner.
— Select 1000M/FULL for port operation at 1000 Mb/s and full duplex.
— Select 100M/FULL for port operation at 100 Mb/s and full duplex.
— Select 100M/HALF for port operation at 100 Mb/s and half duplex.
— Select 10M/FULL for port operation at 10 Mb/s and full duplex.
— Select 10M/HALF for port operation at 10 Mb/s and half duplex.
5. Configure the Flow Control setting for the port:
— Select On for flow control.
— Select Off for no flow control.
6. Click Apply.
IMPORTANT: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM
using the Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving
Changes,” earlier in this chapter.
Configuring Port Mirroring
The GbE Interconnect Switch allows you to copy frames transmitted and received on a port
(source) and redirect the copies to another port (target). You can attach a monitoring device
to the mirrored (target) port, such as a sniffer or an RMON probe, to view details about the
packets passing through the source port. This setting is useful for network monitoring and
troubleshooting purposes.
The following configuration rules apply to any port mirroring configuration:
•
•
•
•
•
•
A target mirror port cannot be configured as a trunk member.
VLAN configuration settings for any ports configured for mirroring cannot be changed.
The source and target ports should be members of the same VAN.
The direction of traffic on the source port can be one of the following:
Ingress traffic (received packets) on the source port
Egress traffic (transmitted packets) on the source port
Ingress and egress traffic on the source port
