Enable Layer 2 Deassert 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 Deassert mode, click Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → <Device Name> → Troubleshooting → Layer 2 Bypass.
2. In the Layer 2 Pass-Through Monitoring section, select Deassert in the drop-down list against Layer 2 Mode.

   Note

   The Deassert mode is displayed only if layer 2 mode is previously set to Assert 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. Normal means that layer 2 pass-through mode is not enabled in the device. L2 Pass-Through Mode means pass-through mode is enabled.

   Note

   To view the status of Deassert 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 Deassert mode when the layer 2 mode is set to ON/OFF.
