Bypass Card Status Lights
To validate a Two-Port Copper Fast-Ethernet Bypass Card (150-00001)
For the Two-Port Copper Fast-Ethernet Bypass card (150-00001), the links are indicated by four status lights:
The bottom two amber lights indicate the card is not in bypass mode.
The top two green LEDs are lit if there is link.
The top two green LEDs flash if there is traffic flowing through them.
Removing the cable from the ports causes the green LEDs to turn dark (off). You must induce traffic to
ensure the card is working correctly.
To induce traffic, enter the following text at the system prompt
ping -c 1 -I <inpath_ipaddr> -b <broadcast_ip_addr>
For example (where the netmask is /24):
ping -c 1 -I 10.11.128.8 -b 10.11.128.255
This ping command creates a loop for testing the Steelhead appliance in isolation.
