•
Breakout A → C
—Select the check box to add a breakout mapping from Port A to Port C. Traffic received on A
is copied to C.
•
Breakout B → D
—Select the check box to add a breakout mapping from Port B to Port D. Traffic received on B is
copied to D.
•
Slicing (A ingress)
—Enter a packet slicing size for ingress traffic received on Port A. Minimum slicing size is 16
Bytes and maximum slicing size is 9216 Bytes. Leave blank or enter 0 to keep packets unsliced. This setting only
affects ingress packets that are copied from the A/B ports to ports on other cards.
•
Slicing (B ingress)
—Enter a packet slicing size for ingress traffic received on Port B. Minimum slicing size is 16
Bytes and maximum slicing size is 9216 Bytes. Leave blank or enter 0 to keep packets unsliced. This setting only
affects ingress packets that are copied from the A/B ports to ports on other cards.
•
Slicing (C egress)
—Enter a packet slicing size for egress traffic sent from Port C. Minimum slicing size is 16
Bytes and maximum slicing size is 9216 Bytes. Leave blank or enter 0 to keep packets unsliced.
•
Slicing (D egress)
—Enter a packet slicing size for egress traffic sent from Port D. Minimum slicing size is 16
Bytes and maximum slicing size is 9216 Bytes. Leave blank or enter 0 to keep packets unsliced.

Configure port communication settings, noting the following requirements for effective port communications:
Mapping to other TAP modules
If a V-Line module is mapped to another TAP module, the V-Line module ports must be set to 1G bps.
Live ports
If operating in V-Line, Aggregation or Breakout mode, the V-Line module live ports (
A
and
B
) must have
matching communication settings (same speed, duplex and MDI settings).
Tool ports
If operating in V-Line or Breakout mode, the V-Line module tool ports (
C
and
D
) must have the same
communication settings as the live ports (
A
and
B
) .
