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:
100G - QSFP28- SR4 50 µm optical active fail-open switch
NS9500 model with standard 100 Gigabit QSFP28 monitoring ports
Windows or Linux system installed with a MIB browser, such as iReasoning
Cables for connecting 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.
