EdgeSafe Bypass | M100G1xx
5.2.2 Inline mode with heartbeat checking
In event of an application failure (including power failure of the monitor/network device), the
monitor/network device stops transmitting the heartbeat packets, and the M100G1AC will not be able to
detect the flow of heartbeat packets, then the M100G1AC switches from Inline mode to Active Bypass,
TAP, or Linkdrop mode according to the predefined settings of the Heartbeat Active Expire OP Mode
parameter.
In Active Bypass or TAP mode, the network traffic continues to flow through the network ports and is not
diverted to the monitor ports. As soon as the monitor/network device recovers and resumes transmitting
the heartbeat packets, the M100G1AC resumes Inline mode after detecting the heartbeat packets for a
period of time set by the hb_holdtime parameter.
