Chapter 2 Configuring the Device
Changing the Port Mode
The port mode is the binding of physical ports, logical interfaces, and zones.
Warning:
Changing the port mode removes any existing configurations on the NetScreen
device. Therefore, you should change the port mode before you configure the device.
The following table summarizes the port, interface, and zone bindings for the port modes
that are available on the NetScreen-5GT Wireless devices:
