2. Features and specifications
This chapter introduces the key features, bypass specifications, and default configurations of the
M100G1AC.
2.1 Key features
The following sections explain the key features of M100G1AC.
2.1.1 Supported operation modes
The M100G1AC supports four modes of operation: Inline, Bypass, TAP and Linkdrop.
-
In Inline mode, the M100G1AC diverts the network traffic to the attached inline network system.
This is the normal operation mode.
-
In Bypass mode, the M100G1AC diverts the network traffic to another network system instead of
the attached inline network system.
-
In TAP mode, the M100G1AC mirrors incoming traffic in port Net0 to port Mon0 and incoming traffic
in port Net1 to port Mon1.
-
In Linkdrop mode, the M100G1AC disables the links on both network ports (Net0, Net1). It
simulates switch/router cable disconnection.
3. For detailed description of operation modes, see Chapter 4. Theory of
operation System management overview
A user can use a username and password to access the M100G1AC management interface via COM, SSH or
Web. The initial user name is admin and the default password is Garland2015.
The M100G1AC supports multiple users’ login.
The M100G1AC defines three types of user privileges to restrict user access:
-
Admin: Full read-write access to all configurations (Bypass Configuration/System/User/ SNMP);
privileges to add, delete, or modify local users on the M100G1AC. The initial user account admin is
the only administrator account and no other administrator accounts are allowed to be created. This
administrator account cannot be deleted, and the privileges cannot be modified.
-
Normal: Full read-write access to Bypass Configurations and read-only access to other
configurations (System/User/SNMP).
-
Readonly: Read-only access to all configurations.
The Admin user can change everyone’s password. The Normal users and Readonly users can change only
their own password.
