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) .
