2.4 Monitor Link failure
The M40GBP supports Monitor ports failure detection. In an event of Link failure on one of the monitor
ports, the M40GBP 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 M40GBP will then set to
Inline
mode state after detecting the heartbeat packets for 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 M40GBP supports Bypass on Power failure. In event of power loss the M40GBP 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 M40GBP 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 change via management port from their initial default mode.
