Damn! I hoped there was a way to force the desired behavior in some way.=20=

I=E2=80=99m afraid adding a bypass switch is not an option at the moment =
as the =E2=80=9Chow=E2=80=9D I get the tapped traffic is not directly =
under my control.

Thanks anyway.

they might b active taps, it will keep the link up, u can configure it =
to use loop back the link if the tapped link goes down.
