USER GUIDE
EdgeSafe 10G Modular Bypass | Firmware Rev Level: 0.3.3.2
1 Introduction
EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) is an active external Bypass switch that protects network integrity
from network failures and network maintenance. The IBS generates a heartbeat and
supports several modes of operation.
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) includes two duplex LC ports for network ports, two SFP+
ports for the attached in-line network system and two management ports: serial port (RJ-11)
and 1GB Ethernet port (RJ-45). The IBS supports 10 Gigabit Multimode Fiber (10GBase-SR)
and 10 Gigabit single mode fiber (10GBase-LR) network standards.
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) supports 1 Gigabit Multimode Fiber (1000Base-SR) and 1
Gigabit single mode fiber (1000Base-LX) network standards.
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) is a 1U host system that supports up to four EdgeSafe Bypass
TAPs. The Bypass switch host includes two redundant 110 – 220 V AC power supplies or two
redundant -48V power supplies.

2 Features
2.1 General
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) supports four operation modes: Inline, Bypass, Tap and
Linkdrop modes.
In Inline mode, the IBS diverts in-line network traffic to the attached in-line network system.
In Bypass mode, the IBS diverts in-line network traffic to the other network link only.
In Tap mode, incoming traffic in port NET0 is mirrored to port MON0 and incoming traffic in
port NET1 is mirrored to port MON1.
In Linkdrop mode the IBS disables the links on the network ports (NET0, NET1). The IBS
simulates switch / router cable disconnection.
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) continuously generates heartbeat packets to the in-line
Monitor / Network appliance port, the Monitor Network appliance receives heartbeat packets
and transmits it to its other port (bridges the heartbeat packet). As long as the IBS detects the
heartbeat packet coming back it maintains the Inline mode state.
When the EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) does not detect the heartbeat packet from the Network
/ Monitor the IBS sets to Bypass. When the Network / Monitor appliance recovers, it
transmits the heartbeat packet back and the IBS sets from Bypass to Inline.
The IBS includes a "Double Safe" Bypass architecture. The Garland Technology "Double safe"
bypass architecture is based on two separate Bypass routing circuitries: An Active Bypass
circuitry and a Passive Bypass circuitry. If the internal active bypass routing circuitry fails, the
passive Bypass routing circuitry is activated.
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) can be configured via a management serial communication
port and via management Ethernet port using telnet, SSH or SNMP.
2.2 Bypass Modes
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) sets to Bypass /TAP /Linkdrop mode when one of the
following events occurs:
●Application failure (Heartbeat)
●Monitor Link failure.
●Manual Bypass.
●Power failure or power off.

2.3 Application failure (Heartbeat)
The EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) continuously generates heartbeat packets to the in-line
Monitor / Network appliance port, the Monitor/ Network appliance receives heartbeat
packets and transmits it to its other port (bridges the heartbeat packet).
As long as the EdgeSafe Bypass TAP (IBS) detects the heartbeat packet is received from the
Monitor/ Network appliance, it will maintain the Normal / In-Line mode state.
In event of application failure ( including power failure of the Monitor /Network appliance )
the heartbeat packets are not transmitted back by the Monitor / Network appliance and since
the IBS does not receive the heartbeat packet it sets to Active Bypass or TAP or Linkdrop
mode according to the predefined settings of the heartbeat expiration state. During Active
Bypass and TAP modes the network traffic continues to flow through the network ports and
is not diverted to the monitor ports. As soon as the Monitor / Network appliance recovers
and starts transmitting back the heartbeat packets, the IBS will set to Normal / In-Line mode
after detecting the heartbeat packets for a period set by the "hb_holdtime" parameter.

2.4 Monitor Link Failure
The IBS supports Monitor ports failure detection. In an event of Link failure on one of the
monitor ports, the IBS bypasses the Ethernet ports by switching to “Active Bypass” mode. The
network traffic continues to flow through the network ports and is not diverted to the
monitor ports. When the Monitor link is restored, it transmits back the heartbeat packet, the
IBS will then set to Inline mode state after detecting the heartbeat packets for a period set by
the "hb_holdtime" parameter.
The "hb_holdtime" parameter can be changed via the management port from its initial
default mode.
2.5 Power Failure
The IBS supports Bypass on Power failure. In event of power loss the IBS bypasses the
Ethernet ports by switching to Passive Bypass Mode. The network traffic continues to flow
through the network ports and is not diverted to the monitor ports. When power is restored,
the IBS will set to Normal / Inline mode state after detecting the heartbeat packets for the
period set by the "hb_holdtime" parameter.
The "hb_holdtime" parameter can be changed via management port from their initial default
mode.
