Enabling LAN Bypass

If the Sentriant AG appliance loses power or has a major hardware failure, the LAN bypass feature
prevents loss of network traffic. By default, LAN bypass is disabled. This section describes how to
enable LAN bypass.

CAUTION

In certain network topologies, loops can occur when LAN bypass is active. Only enable LAN bypass if the Sentriant
AG appliance is installed in an inline or DHCP inline deployment

To enable LAN bypass:

1

Connect a terminal or terminal emulator to the serial console port.

2

While the unit is powering on, press [Delete] or [Tab] to enter the BIOS.
