Intel A31032-001 manual P E N D I X B Fail-through Switch Security Level

A P P E N D I X B Fail-through Switch (Security Level)

or to be blocked. When the switch is in Fail-through mode (down position), traffic is allowed to pass through unprocessed in the event of a failure of the 7110/7115 or if the Bypass toggle is ON.

During normal processing, the Inline (green) LED on the front panel indicates whether e-Commerce traffic will pass through in the event of a failure (depending on Fail-through switch state). Steady green or blinking green both mean that the 7110/7115 is processing traffic; blinking green indicates traffic will be blocked if the 7110/7115 fails (Fail-safe mode), and steady green indicates traffic will continue (unprocessed) in the event of a failure (Fail-through mode). When the Inline LED is off, no SSL processing is taking place, which means either no traffic is passing through (Fail-safe), or the traffic that is passing through is unprocessed (Fail-through).

The following conditions and Inline LED behavior are possible with the Fail-through switch and Bypass button:

Device Mode	Bypass	Fail-through	Traffic Status	Inline LED
	Button	Switch Mode
Failed	N/A	Fail-safe (Up	No traffic (either direction)	off
		position)
Failed	N/A	Fail-through	Passes through unprocessed	off
		(Down
		position)
N/A	ON (Bypass)	Fail-safe (Up	No traffic (either direction)	off
		position)
N/A	ON (Bypass)	Fail-through	Passes through unprocessed	off
		(Down
		position)
Operational	OFF (Inline)	Fail-safe (Up	Processing	Blinking green
		position)
Operational	OFF (Inline)	Fail-through	Processing	Steady green
		(Down
		position)
