Chelsio T5/T4 Unified Wire For Linux Page 193
Getting the default state:
[root@host]# bypass ethX get --default_state
Setting the default state:
[root@host]# bypass ethX set --default_state [bypass |disconnect]
4.2.4. Using the bypass watchdog timer
The watchdog timer is used to ensure that if there is a software failure, the switch will enter the
default state.
First set the timeout value for the watchdog in milliseconds:
[root@host]# bypass ethX set --watchdog_timeout 3000
Start pinging the watchdog:
[root@host]# while true; do bypass ethX set --watchdog ping; sleep 1; done
Enable the watchdog:
[root@host]# bypass ethX set --watchdog enable
4.2.5. Redirect Management
The bypass adapter has the ability to redirect packets based upon rules. Rules can be grouped
into tables. When a rule is added into a table, it is assigned an index. Within a table, rules are
evaluated by index number from low to high. When a rule matches the action associated with it,
that rule is performed and higher number rules are not evaluated. Rules are not evaluated until
a table is activated.
