SS-1200, SS-2200, SS-4200 Series USERguide
On a tap
with
LINKprotect® enabled, the SINGLEstream will notice that the link has been
broken on the Firewall’s side. After a user-configured period of time, a set of relays within the
network port pair will close.
This makes the SINGLEstream temporarily behave like a piece of copper wire, and will allow
each endpoint to directly connect to each other. Since the endpoints will now be directly
connected, the Switch now sees that the link to the Firewall has gone down.
