-====== 18 Bypass network card questions ====== 
-{{indexmenu_n>18}} 
-**Why do we recommend to use SILICOM network cards?**\\ 
- Here are the reasons: 
-  * these cards support bypass functionality; 
-  * drivers' licenses for DNA & Libzero can be included into delivery package. These drivers allow to get the highest productivity. The cards with included drivers are marked by -SQ1 (for 10Gb card). 
-**Does bypass work in SILICOM cards on power off?** 
-  * Fiber optics bypass does work on power off. It was verified on card PE210G2BPI9-SR-SQ1 short range/fiber; 
-  * The copper bypass does work with no power. It was verified on card [[http://www.silicom-usa.com/Networking_Bypass_Adapters/PEG6BPi6-Six_Port_Copper_Gigabit_Ethernet_PCI_Express_Bypass_Server_Adapter_Intel_based_58|PEG6BPi6]]). 
-**Do SILICOM cards have manual bypass control?**\\ 
-Basically DPI controls bypass by itself.\\ 
-bpctl_util utility provides manual bypass control, if required:\\ 
-  * bpctl_util all get_bypass - get bypass status; 
-  * bpctl_util all set_bypass on - activate bypass; 
-  * bpctl_util all set_bypass off - disactivate bypass. 
  
-**We have got second-hand card. bypass does not work. What can we do?**\\ 
-The problem is caused by configuring this card as a standard. It means bypass functionality is off.\\ 
-To diagnose:\\ 
- 
-  bpctl_util all get_std_nic 
-  07:00.0 dna0 standard 
-  07:00.1 dna1 slave 
-  07:00.2 dna2 standard 
-  07:00.3 dna3 slave 
-  
-The correct result is: non-standard.\\ \\ 
-To set the card in bypass mode, one should execute the following instructions:\\ 
-  bpctl_util all set_std_nic off 
- 
-This instruction switches the card into non-standard mode: it means, with bypass mode.
