Enable Layer 2 Assert Mode

The changes made on the Manager interface are also reflected on Sensor CLI. To view the status on the Sensor, enter status command.

1. To enable the Assert mode, click Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → <Device Name> → Troubleshooting → Layer 2 Bypass.
2. In the Layer 2 Pass-Through Monitoring section, select Assert in the drop-down list against Layer 2 Mode.
3. Check ARP Spoofing to enable it on the device.
4. Click Save.

   Once applied, you can view the number of critical faults and current mode in the Layer 2 Pass-Through Status dialog at the bottom of the screen.

   
   
   

   Note the following status fields:

   • Occurrences: Displays the current number of threshold-breaching events
   • Current Mode: Displays the current mode of the device. Abnormal means that Layer 2 pass-through mode is enabled in the device. L2 Pass-Through Mode means pass-through mode is enabled.

   Note

   To view the status of Assert mode for Sensors in a stack, Click Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → <Device Name> → Member Sensors → <Stackname-node id> → Troubleshooting → Layer 2 Bypass

   Note

   • The Manager interface does not allow you to move to ON/OFF mode once the layer 2 mode is set to Assert, then only Deassert is allowed.
   • If you set the mode to 'Assert', it gets applied to all the Member Sensors for a stack / HA.
   • The Layer 2 modes Assert/Dessert could only be set from Manager interface for Sensor versions 10.1.5.107 and above. For others, it is recommended to set these modes through CLI commands.
