Configure Egress Mode - Network Critical SmartNA-X User Manual

• Inject C → A—Select the check box to inject traffic on Port C into Port A.
When injecting packets back into the live network, the maximum packet size (MTU) supported is 1536 bytes.
• Inject C → B—Select the check box to inject traffic on Port C into Port B.
• Inject D → A—Select the check box to inject traffic on Port D into Port A.
• Inject D → B—Select the check box to inject traffic on Port D into Port B.
• 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.
4. 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) .
