Since we have looked at the steps to set up a fail-open switch and deploy it, we’ll go through a scenario to see how the setup works. We will cover configuration steps at a high level without listing each step. For more detailed steps on any section, refer to sections above.
The deployment uses the following software and hardware equipment:
- 10G 50 µm optical active fail-open switch with SNMP (This switch requires two power adapters and two XFPs that support an LC Fiber cable).
- M-3050 Sensor, with two 10G XFPs, that has one of its port pairs deployed inline fail-open.
- Windows Server 2008 or 2012 computer installed with iReasoning MIB browser.
- Cables for connecting the various devices.
- Terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal or PuTTy. We will be using PuTTy for this deployment.
- Make note of these parameters that you will while setting up fail-open switch parameters.
- Baud rate: 19200 bits per second
- Data bits: 8
- No parity
- Stop bits: 1
- No flow control
- Username and password: Trellix
- Fail-open switch MIBs to decode SNMP traps from a 10G active fail-open switch. If you do not have MIBs with you, contact Technical Support.
