Exinda CLI: Bypass

Overview

 

This article provides information regarding the Exinda CLI command bypass. This command is used for configuring Bypass settings and for configuring Watchdog auto-reboot.

You can use the bypass command to indicate which bridge mode you want during normal operations and following a failure. During a failure, the appliance can stop traffic as if the ethernet cables are not connected, or the appliance can fail-to-wire where the traffic passes through the box unaffected and unmonitored.

 

Information

 

NOTE:  The following syntax convention is used:
  • {}: Options are enclosed in braces and are separated by '|'
  • []: Optional keywords are enclosed in brackets
  • <>: User input is required where variables are enclosed in greater-than and less-than symbols

 

The following table describes the commands used for performing common actions related to bypass:
