FortiBridge 4.0 Administration Guide

CLI Configuration for TAP Mode

This section describes the configuration tasks required for a network segment to operate in TAP mode.

By default, each network segment will transition to Inline mode. Therefore, you must set the following configuration values for a network segment to transition into TAP mode:

l Set the current module and segment l Keep Heartbeat active mode: Enable l Heartbeat active mode: Disable l Bypass mode: set to TAP mode

Set Keep Heartbeat Active Mode

Set the Keep Heartbeat Active Mode to enabled, so that the Heartbeat Active Mode value will survive a power cycle or restart. If you set this parameter to disabled, the segment will come up in Inline mode.

FBG-3002L#set_keep_hb_act_mode enable

Disable Heartbeat Active Mode

Set heartbeat active mode to disabled. The segment transitions to the mode configured in Bypass Mode.

FBG-3002L#set_hb_act_mode disable

Set Bypass Mode

When the heartbeat active mode is set to disabled, the segment transitions to the mode configured in Bypass Mode. Set the value to TAP.

FBG-3002L#set_bypass_mode tap

CLI Configuration for Modules

The FortiBridge host system houses up to three bypass modules.

A bypass module supports one or more network segments. A network segment provides one inline or bypass traffic path. Each segment provides two network ports (NET0 and NET1) and two monitoring ports (MON1 and MON2).

The available Bypass modules include:

  • 40G bypass module l Supports one bypass segment.
  • Dual-rate 1/10G bypass module l Supports two bypass segments l Available with short-reach or long-reach optics.

The following sections describe common configuration tasks required for the bypass modules.

Before you start to configure a specific module or segment, you need to set the module and segment as “current”, using the set_seg command.

Select the Current Module

Set the module and segment to be current:

FBG-3002L#set_seg 1 1

Displays the current module and segment :

FBG-3002L#get_seg

Blinks the S.OK LED on the current module:

FBG-3002L#whoami enable

List the Module Properties

Displays the settings for each of the installed modules.

FBG-3002L#get_dev_prop

Display the Module State

Displays information about the state of the current module.

Note: this command resets the Alarm LED.

FBG-3002L#get_dev_state

CLI Configuration for Modules

Set the Link Speed

The 10G bypass modules support dual-rate link speed (1G or 10G). To set the link speed, use the set_seg_speed command. The command will set the link speed for the current segment. You can specify all to set the value for all of the segments on the current module:

FBG-3002L#set_seg_speed [all] (auto | 10g | 1g)
