Because port assignments can be made only by a management module, the
TDRMIM goes through a bypass period at each boot-up to provide a
window of opportunity during which a management module may
announce its intention to make these assignments. During this boot-up
period, the TDRMIM holds itself in full bypass mode by setting all ports
to loop-back to prevent them from connecting to any ring. After the
boot-up procedure is complete—the TDRMIM either has been
programmed by management or has gone to default mode—the TDRMIM
returns to normal operations.
