Configure Bypass Switch and DBM Options
Each bypass switch can be configured independently as a bypass switch or a Tap. To configure switch 1 as a bypass
switch, type segment set index=1 mode=sw. To configure switch 1 as a Tap, type segment set index=1 mode=tap.
The bypass switch modes are:
• Switch (sw) – Normal bypass switch operation
• Force Bypass On (bp_on) – Like switch mode, except the bypass switch is forced in Bypass On mode, in the
same state as if Bypass On had been entered because of lost Heartbeat packets
• Tap (tap) – The switch becomes a half-duplex breakout Tap, bridging network traffic between network port A
and network port B, while mirroring traffic entering network port A to monitor port 1 and traffic entering network
port B traffic to monitor port 2

The following options can be configured for each DBM by using the module set command. The names used in the CLI
for the options are shown in parentheses.
• Administration (admin) – enable and power up or disable and power down the DBM
• High Availability Mode (ha_mode) – sets a pair of switches into a high availability (HA) mode; explained
further in a subsequent section starting on page 30
The syntax for the module set command is as follows. Bold indicates the default setting.
module set index=<1-4|all> [admin=<enable|disable>] [ha_mode=<link|tool|force|disable>] [primary_link=<1|2>]
[primary_tool=<1|2>]
For example, to disable and power down DBM 3, type module set index=3 admin=disable followed by commit.
