100G bypass segment. In each M100G1AC bypass segment there are always 4 ports, two of them are named NET ports NET0 and NET1, and the other two ports are named MON ports MON0 and MON1. The two external ports connected to the NET ports are usually switch or router ports, and we refer to them as Router Ports within the document.

M100G1AC will not be able to detect the flow of heartbeat packets, then the M100G1AC switches from Inline mode to Active Bypass, TAP, or Linkdrop mode according to the predefined settings of the Heartbeat Active Expire OP Mode parameter.
Page 12
The following diagram illustrates the working mechanism of Bypass mode or Active Bypass mode. In this mode, traffic will bypass the M100G1AC device, which means packets received from Net0 port will be forwarded to the device connected to NET1 port,Packets received from Net1 port will be forwarded to the device connected to NET0 port.

EdgeSafe Bypass | M100G1xx 5.2.4 Passive Bypass and Power failure In event of a power failure, the M100G1AC bypasses the Ethernet ports by switching to Passive Bypass mode. The network traffic continues to flow through the network ports but is not diverted to the monitor ports.

USER GUIDE EdgeSafe Bypass | M100G1xx 5.2.11 Linkdrop mode In Linkdrop mode, the M100G1AC disables the link on both network ports (Net0, Net1). The M100G1AC simulates switch/router cable disconnection. The following diagram illustrates the working mechanism of Linkdrop mode. Linkdrop mode Figure 12.

If the M100G1AC does not receive heartbeat packets forwarded by the Network Appliance from the Mon ports, the M100G1AC will set the Application State (as shown in the Module Status Page) to Failed and switch to Active Bypass, TAP or Linkdrop mode according to the predefined settings of the Heartbeat Active Expired OP Mode parameter.

When the Heartbeat Active Mode option is enabled, the M100G1AC sends heartbeat packets to its monitor ports. If the M100G1AC does not the detect the flow of heartbeat packets on the monitor ports, the M100G1AC will switch to Active Bypass, TAP, TAPI12, TAPA, TAPAI1, TAPAI2, TAPAI12 or Linkdrop mode according to the predefined settings of the Heartbeat Active Expired OP Mode parameter.
Page 65
Heartbeat Fail Detect criteria can be set to: Bidirectional: The M100G1AC will change its state if neither monitor ports receive the heartbeat packets. The M100G1AC will restore to its default state if at least one of the monitor ports receives the heartbeat packets.
