Failure Conditions, Fail-safe,
and Fail-through
During any failure condition of the 7110/7115, unprocessed data
packets can either pass through or not, depending on whether Fail-
safe or Fail-through mode is enabled. The Fail-through switch is by
default in Fail-safe mode, meaning that during a failure no data
packets will pass from one side of the 7110/7115 to the other. For
details, see “Failure/Bypass Modes” in Appendix B.
