Configuring Port Mapping
Note. To change the direction of an active session with network ports, delete the network ports of the
session, change the direction, and recreate the network ports.
Sample Port Mapping Configuration
This section provides an example port mapping network configuration. In addition, a tutorial is also
included that provides steps on how to configure the example port mapping session using the Command
Line Interface (CLI).
Example Port Mapping Overview
The following diagram shows a four-switch network configuration with active port mapping sessions. In
the network diagram, the Switch A is configured as follows:
•
Port mapping session 1 is created with user ports 2/1, 2/2 and network ports 1/1, 1/2 and is configured
in the unidirectional mode.
•
Port mapping session 2 is created with user ports 3/1, 3/2, and 3/3 and network port 1/3.
The Switch D is configured by creating a port mapping session 1 with user ports 2/1, 2/2 and network
ports 1/1.

2/2
In the above example topology:
•
Ports 2/1 and 2/2 on Switch A do not interact with each other and do not interact with the ports on
Switch B.
•
Ports 2/1, 2/2, and 3/1 on Switch B interact with all the ports of the network except with ports 2/1 and
2/2 on Switch A.
