If the heartbeat packets are not returned to the Optical Bypass Switch (CPE has gone off-line), the Optical Bypass will automatically bypass the CPE and keep the link traffic flowing. But when the switch (CPE) loses power, is disconnected, or otherwise fails, the bypass switch passes traffic directly between its network ports, bypassing the CPE, and ensuring that traffic continues to flow on the network link.Ī bypass switch monitors the health of the CPE by sending heartbeats to the network switch (CPE) as long as the network device/switch is on-line, the heartbeat packets will be returned to the optical bypass switch and the link traffic will continue to flow through the CPE. During normal operation, the bypass switch passes all network traffic through the network (CPE) switch as if it were directly in-line itself. Two monitor ports are used to connect the in-line device. This connection is fully passive if the bypass switch itself loses power, traffic continues to flow unimpeded through the link. Two network ports create an in-line connection in the network link that is to be monitored. The bypass switch or bypass tap removes this point of failure by automatically ‘switching traffic via bypass mode’ to keep the critical network link up.Ī bypass switch has four ports. if the device loses power, experiences a software failure, or is taken off-line for updates or upgrades, traffic can no longer flow through the critical link. Do you think the source of your problem is on your local network, or it is it outside your local network? Wireless ProblemsĪ bypass switch (or bypass TAP) is a hardware device that provides a fail-safe access port for an in-line active network device such as an intrusion prevention system (IPS), next-generation firewall, network switch etc. If the pattern originates somewhere in between the first and last row, the problem is probably outside your local network then contact the NOC it could be problems on the international circuitįigure 2 Problems outside your network begin in the middle. If the pattern starts on the first row in the graph (your router), you’re probably dealing with an internal network problem.įigure 1 Internal problems begin on the first hop Where the pattern begins, helps you understand the source of the problem. Do you notice any patterns leading up to the final destination? When you have an idea of what’s happening on the final destination, it’s time to look at the rows leading up to the final destination. If you see high latency on your final destination, you’ve probably captured a network problem Follow the pattern to the source The further to the right the black line is the longer it takes for data travel around the network. What about the black line? It shows how long it takes data to travel to your target and back. This effect is known as packet loss, and if you’re seeing it on the final destination, there’s a good chance you captured a problem. Do you see a red bar? If so, that means some data was lost between your computer and the target. The final destination is the bottom row of the trace graph Check for packet loss PingPlotter represents the final destination with the bottom row of the trace graph. Understanding PingPlotter graphs begins with the final destination. Let’s take a closer look and see what the graph tells us about the source of your network problem. You’ve captured something in PingPlotter that looks like evidence of a network problem. This write-up covers the basic features of the graphs and their interpretation. The big question is do you understand these graphs. Once an institution is facing problems they are prompted to share their results with the NOC for interpretation. This is a tool used by the RENU community to troubleshoot network issues.
