Generally, according to the control method or trigger method, Bypass can be divided into the following methods:
In practical applications, these three states often exist simultaneously, especially the first two methods.
The general application method is: In the case of power off, the device is in the Bypass on state. Then after the device is powered on, since the BIOS can operate on Bypass, after the BIOS takes over the device, Bypass is still in the on state. Then the OS starts. When the OS starts, generally the GPIO Bypass program will be executed to close Bypass, so that the application program can play a role. That is to say, during the entire startup process, there will hardly be any network disconnection. Only in the short 2-3 seconds from when the device is just powered on to when the BIOS takes over may the network be disconnected.
The role of the network intelligent switch is: mainly to protect against various network cascaded gateway devices from becoming single points of failure due to accidental failures (such as hardware failures, power failures, software deadlocks, etc.), or to provide favorable help when these gateway devices are upgraded and maintained, avoiding the time delay and network operation and maintenance management difficulties caused by manual network switching. It has become an indispensable solution for ensuring high availability of network operation.
