5.2.4 Passive Bypass and Power failure
In event of a power failure, the M100G1AC bypasses the Ethernet ports by switching to Passive Bypass
mode.
The network traffic continues to flow through the network ports but is not diverted to the monitor ports.
When power is restored, the M100G1AC resumes Inline mode after detecting the heartbeat packets for a
period of time set by the Heartbeat Expire Timer parameter.
Note: The Heartbeat Expire Timer parameter can be change via management port from their initial default value
.
The following diagram illustrates the working mechanism of Passive Bypass mode.
