Table 10: Fiber Port LEDs
LED | State | Description |
LINK ACT | Glows green | Link is present. |
| Flashes green | Activity. |
| Off | No link present. |
LINK SPD | Green | Connection is 100 Mbps. |
| Yellow | Connection is 1 Gbps. |
| Orange | Connection is 10 Gbps. |
| Off | If LINK ACT is on, the connection is 10 Mbps. If LINK ACT |
|
| is off, LINK SPD off indicates no link is present as well. |
BYP | Green | Interface is not in bypass mode. |
| Yellow | Interface is in bypass mode. |
| Off | Interface is turned off (NICs off state). |
NOTE: For fiber interface ports, if failure or shutdown triggers NICs off state, LINK ACT and LINK SPD LEDs remain lit.
Traffic Interface Features
In IDP deployments, pairs of traffic interfaces are implemented as virtual routers. For example, interface ports eth2 and eth3 form a virtual router vr1. For each virtual router, you use the Appliance Configuration Manager (ACM) to configure the deployment mode (sniffer or transparent) and bypass options (internal, external, or off). The following topics describe these settings:
■Deployment Mode on page 10
■Internal Bypass on page 10
■NICs Off on page 11
■External Bypass on page 12
For guidance on using ACM to configure virtual router settings, see the ACM online help.
