• In the bidirectional mode, the network ports of a session cannot communicate with each other. Also, 

the network ports of that session cannot be a part of a network port set of another session.

• In the unidirectional mode, the network ports of a session can communicate with each other. Also, the 

network ports of that session can be part of a network port set of another session, which is also in the 
unidirectional mode.

• To change the direction of an active session with network ports, delete the network ports of the session, 

change the direction, and recreate the network ports.
