Link Fault Detect
Turn Link Fault Detection (LFD) ON or OFF. When LFD is
ON, if one network link goes down, the other link is auto-
matically downed to propagate the condition.
Bypass Detect
Turn Bypass Detect ON or OFF. In most environments,
Bypass Detect should be OFF.
Heartbeat Timeout
Period(s)
Number of milliseconds (0–100) between Heartbeat Packets
sent from the iBypass unit to a connected monitoring device.
The default is 1 millisecond. If this parameter is set to 0, the
Switch is forced into Bypass ON mode.
Heartbeat Retries
Number of heartbeats that do not come back from a device
before an iBypass unit stops sending traffic through that
monitoring device; the default is 3. Heartbeat packets
continue to be sent and if one comes back from the
attached device, traffic flow to the device resumes.
Transmit Heartbeat
Packet
View or change this heartbeat packet. The default is 00 05

The new configuration parameters take effect the next time System Manager polls
the iBypass Switch. If System Manager detects a change when it pools, a circled
arrow appears next to the value until the next polling.
