Configuring Network/ TAP Ports on the G-TAP A Series 2
The G-TAP A Series 2 is shipped with auto-negotiation enabled on the Network/ TAP ports and can be used out of the box by simply supplying power and connecting network cables. You can explicitly set the admin/ auto-negotiation /duplex /speed/ lfp /relay parameters for each group. Each group consists of two network and two monitor ports.
Example,
Port * params admin enable
Port* auto-negotiation enable
Port* speed 100
Port* duplex full
Port * lfp enable
Port * relay active.
Where Port* is G1 , G2 , G3 or G4 .
Note: For G-TAP A-SF21 the ports are X1,X2,X3 and X4.
