Add or delete source port and destination port entries as follows:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Source Port field.
2. Press the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE one or more times to increment
or decrement the port number displayed in the brackets [n] until the
appropriate port number is displayed.
3. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Destination Port field.
4. Use the SPACE bar or BACKSPACE to step to the appropriate port
number for the destination port.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Status field.
6. Use the SPACE bar to select either the ADD or DEL (delete) option.
Press ENTER. This adds or deletes the port selections made in steps 2
and 4 and also updates the screen Source Port and Destination Port list.
7. Use the arrow keys to highlight the Errors field.
8. Use the SPACE bar to select either the ON or OFF option and press
ENTER. ON forces the source module and port to forward errored
frames to the destination module(s) and port(s). OFF forces the
errored frames to be dropped before forwarding traffic.
9. Use the arrow keys to highlight SAVE at the bottom of the screen.
Press ENTER. The message “SAVED OK” is displayed.
NOTE
If more than one port is to be redirected, repeat steps 1 through

new settings at once.
