Description
Destination MAC address used for
heartbeat packets when Etherframe,
ICMP, or TCP SYN heartbeat modes
are used.
How often the heartbeat is sent (in
milliseconds).
After the heartbeat is sent, the
interval of time (in milliseconds)
before the system regards the
heartbeat as lost.
Defines the number of heartbeats lost
before switching from inline mode to
bypass mode.
Defines the number of heartbeats
received before switching from
bypass mode to inline mode.
When enabled, the system sends
heartbeat packets on both the A1 and
A2 ports of the specified segment,
instead of just A1.
Generates an SNMP trap if a network
port stops functioning.

Ports for dedicated mirroring of the
network traffic (providing SPAN and
TAP functionality).
Instructs the 10G Network Active
Bypass unit to passively monitor
network traffic and mirror that data
to a monitoring port without
interfering with the data stream.
The 10G Network Active Bypass unit
is capable of mirroring single-port or
aggregated multi-port traffic to a TAP
port.
Note: The 10G Network Active
Bypass unit provides seven
functioning TAP ports (1 through 7).
TAP port 8 is not available for use.
