10 Through Mode Test Setup and
Results
The Through Mode test feature is intended to monitor Ethernet traffic
between two end points, with as much transparency as possible. This type
of application allows in-line monitoring without using an external tapping
module, a switch mirror port or any other traffic redirection scheme simply
based on the interface setup parameters. To configure
Interface setup, see
Interface on page 280. In Through Mode test, both Port 1 and Port 2 are
active and the link status, and speed is displayed for both ports. Statistics
are cumulated on traffic entering and leaving the test set in both directions.
Configuration of the active port used when Through Mode test is selected
will be copied to the other port. When the test is not running, the module
listens for Remote Loopback & DTS, only on active port.
Note:
Through Mode is not available on the FTB-860GL.
Note: The Through Mode test is only available when the Through Mode software
option ( ETH-THRU ) is enabled.
