About LAN-bypass

The LAN-bypass function allows the customer to install a Trend Micro supported fiber or Gigabit network interface card (NIC) into the supported server platform to allow the network traffic to be by-passed on specific error conditions.

• Note: IWSVA only supports LAN-bypass functionality in Transparent Bridge Mode.

Setup the by-pass function in one of three settings:

• Auto — Bypass is OFF when the system is in a normal state; Bypass mode is ON when system detects an abnormal state such as kernel panic issue or when power is cut off from the IWSVA unit

• On — Always bypass traffic

• Off — Never bypass traffic

• Note: When the LAN bypass function is set to ON, the data interface is not available. However, the customer can still access IWSVA via the separate management interface, if configured.

The LAN-bypass function supports two port Silicom cards:

• SD: PXG2BPFIL-SD, PXG2BPI-SD

• Non-SD: PEG2BPFID, PEG2BPI
