This command displays the MAC address detected in the Heartbeat packets sent by the Active Fail-Open (AFO) kit, followed by the current AFO kit state.

Syntax:

show afo status <port-pair | all>

Parameter

Description

<port-pair>

Set the port-pair for which the status is to be displayed.

Valid port-pairs for NS9600, NS9500, NS7600, NS7500 Sensors are: g0/1-g0/2 |g0/3-g0/4 | g1/1-g1/2 | g1/3-g1/4 | g1/5-g1/6 | g1/7-g1/8 | g2/1-g2/2 | g2/3-g2/4 | g2/5-g2/6 | g2/7-g2/8 | g3/1-g3/2 | g3/3-g3/4 | g3/5-g3/6 | g3/7-g3/8

Valid port-pairs for NS3600 Sensor are: 1-2 | 3-4 | 5-6 | 7-8 | 9-10 | 11-12 | 13-14

<all>

Display the status of all the IFO-ACTIVE port-pairs.

Sample Output 1:

show fail-open port for a specific port-pair
show fail-open port for a specific port-pair


Sample Output 2:

show fail-open port for all the IFO-ACTIVE port-pairs
show fail-open port for all the IFO-ACTIVE port-pairs


Depending on the AFO kit physical connection status, the Fail-Open Switch and Fail-Open Ports columns will display the following status:

Fail-Open Switch

Fail-Open Ports

Description

PRESENT

INLINE

Connection between the Sensor and the AFO kit is up and the Sensor receives heartbeat packets from the AFO kit. These heartbeat packets contain the destination MAC address which matches the MAC address setting in the Sensor.

The Manager displays the status as Present in this scenario.

ABSENT

UNKNOWN

Connection between the Sensor and the AFO kit is down.

The Manager displays the status as Unknown in this scenario.

ABSENT

ABSENT

  • The Sensor - AFO kit ports/links are up, but the Sensor does not receive the Heartbeat packets.

  • The Sensor receives the heartbeat packets, but MAC address setting in Sensor does not match the MAC address in the heartbeat packet sent by AFO kits.

The Manager displays the status as Unknown in this scenario.

Applicable to:

NS-series Sensors - NS9600, NS9500, NS7600, NS7500, and NS3600
