Configuring the Live Ports
1.
Link Failure Propagation (LFP) Mode
When selected the TAP will monitor each LIVE PORT link. If one of the devices connected to
the LIVE PORT fails, then the other LIVE PORT will immediately drop. Once the failed connect
ed device is back on-line, then the other LIVE PORT will immediately come back on-line. This
feature is generally used in Redundant Configured Networks. (HSRP - Hot Standby Routing
Protocol, OSFP - Open Shortest Path First protocol, etc.)
2.
Network Speed
You must configure the TAP to match the network configuration into which the TAP will be
deployed. Select 1000 to set 1000BASE-T mode, all ports will operate at 1000 Mbps. Select
100 to set 100BASE-TXmode.
