USER GUIDE
EdgeSafe 10G Modular Bypass | Firmware Rev Level: 0.3.3.2
Figure: 1. EdgeSafe Bypass Normal Mode.
2.4 Monitor Link Failure
The IBS supports Monitor ports failure detection. In an event of Link failure on one of the
monitor ports, the IBS bypasses the Ethernet ports by switching to “Active Bypass” mode. The
network traffic continues to flow through the network ports and is not diverted to the
monitor ports. When the Monitor link is restored, it transmits back the heartbeat packet, the
IBS will then set to Inline mode state after detecting the heartbeat packets for a period set by
the "hb_holdtime" parameter.
The "hb_holdtime" parameter can be changed via the management port from its initial
default mode.
2.5 Power Failure
The IBS supports Bypass on Power failure. In event of power loss the IBS bypasses the
Ethernet ports by switching to Passive Bypass Mode. The network traffic continues to flow
through the network ports and is not diverted to the monitor ports. When power is restored,
the IBS will set to Normal / Inline mode state after detecting the heartbeat packets for the
period set by the "hb_holdtime" parameter.
The "hb_holdtime" parameter can be changed via management port from their initial default
mode.
