5 LAN Bypass Function

The CSA-5200 is equipped with a LAN Bypass function to allow uninterrupted network traffic
in the case of power disruption, system failure, or if a single in-line appliance is shut down or
hangs. The default behaviour of the LAN Bypass function is determined by BIOS setting
Under the following conditions, GPIO signals trigger the LAN bypass mechanism:

• Bypass button on front panel is pushed when the system is powered on.

• System crash occurs (after reboot with Watchdog Timer is running under Linux)

• System is powered on but not running OS (if enabled in BIOS)

• After booting into OS (if enabled in BIOS and Watchdog Timer is not running under

Linux)

• Power turned off or disconnected

5.1 Hardware Description

The CSA-5200 can bypass the LAN port on designated NIMs (CSA-Z4X01, CSA-Z8X10).

5.2 BIOS Settings

The default behaviour of the CSA-5200's LAN Bypass function is set in the BIOS.

• Bypass Enabled: LAN Bypass is enabled until the system boots into OS and is

disabled by software control or by pushing the Bypass Button.

• Bypass Disabled: LAN Bypass is disabled until the system boots into OS and is

enabled by software control or by pushing the Bypass Button.

The LAN Bypass BIOS setting is set by entering the BIOS setup menu: Advanced > LAN
Bypass Configuration > LAN Bypass Setting, choose "Bypass" or "No Bypass". The BIOS
factory default setting is "No Bypass".

5.3 SuperIO Watchdog Driver & API

A SuperIO Watchdog Driver and API (Linux only) is available to enable LAN bypass by
software control and to reboot the system when a crash occurs (LAN bypass can be enabled
on system restart). To make use of this feature, first install a Linux OS, and then install the
SuperIO Watchdog Driver.

5.3.1 Overview

A Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a hardware circuit that can reset the computer system in case of
a software fault. Usually a user space daemon will notify the kernel watchdog driver via the
/dev/watchdog special device file that user space is still alive, at regular intervals. When such
a notification occurs, the driver will usually tell the hardware watchdog that everything is in
order, and that the watchdog should wait for period of time to reset the system. If user space
fails (RAM error, kernel bug, etc.), the notifications cease to occur, and the hardware
watchdog will reset the system (causing a reboot) after the timeout occurs.

The figure below depicts all logical blocks in the CSA-5200 SuperIO watchdog
implementation.

Logical Blocks in the Watchdog Implementation

The watchdog is controlled by writing to the SuperIO registers. The BYPASS_LAN# signal
will indicate whether LAN bypass is activated. When the BYPASS_LAN# output is 0 (active­low), the CSA-5200 hardware will bypass the LAN inputs (LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4). When
the BYPASS_LAN# output is 1 (inactive), the CSA-5200 hardware will take in the LAN inputs
for IP package inspection and security processing. The various pin functions are described
as follows.

• BYPASS_BTN#: issue a low pulse after the button is pushed. The BIOS routine will

read the bypass button status, then trigger BYPASS_LAN# when the button is
pushed. Linux watchdog software need NOT handle the BYPASS_BTN#.

• BYPASS_LAN#: active low. Both BIOS and Linux watchdog software can read and

change this GPIO status. LAN bypass is activated when BYPASS_LAN# is set to 0
(active-low).

• WDOG_CTRL: LPC bus. Both BIOS and Linux can control the SuperIO watchdog by

writing its registers over LPC bus.

• WDOG_RESET: issue low pulse when feeding fails. A system reset will be

triggerered if WDT_ENABLE is set to 1. After a system reset, BYPASS_LAN# is set
to 0 (active-low) automatically by the BIOS.

• LAN_BY_LED#, lit when BYPASS_LAN# is set to low. The feature is implemented by

pure hardware logic and there is no control required by BIOS/Linux software.

6 Watchdog Timer Programming

Some applications require a server to intelligently switch the LAN bypass mode off and on.
ADLINK has developed SuperIO watchdog APIs for the CSA-5200 to meet the needs of
these application scenarios. First, we will introduce the overall software architecture for
programming. Secondly, we will define the released deliverables, including source file,
makefile, readme, install script and sample test program. Finally, detailed API definitions and
references will be presented to allow customers to easily program their applications.

6.1 Architecture Overview

All the APIs listed in this document are programmed according to the following logical block
architecture, shown as Figure 1. In this figure, the client is running in user space of the Linux
OS and driver in kernel space.

Logical Block Architecture for Watchdog Timer Programming

The watchdog is controlled by writing to the SuperIO registers implemented from the
watchdog driver. The BYPASS_LAN# signal will indicate whether LAN bypass is activated.
When the BYPASS_LAN# output is 0 (active-low), the CSA-5200 hardware will bypass the
LAN inputs. When the BYPASS_LAN# output is 1, the CSA-5200 hardware will take in the
LAN inputs for IP package inspection and security processing. The various pin functions
belonging to the Watchdog Driver are described as follows.

• BYPASS_LAN# (active-low). Both the BIOS and Linux watchdog software can read

and change the status of this signal. LAN bypass is activated when BYPASS_LAN# is
set to 0.

• WDOG_CTRL (active-high). Linux can use this pin to enable/disable the watchdog.

34

CSA-5200

6.2 Deliverables

The CSA-5200 SuperIO Watchdog Software deliver package (SuperIO_WDT-x.x.x.tar.gz)
provides the following software components.

superio_watchdog (directory): Watchdog Driver

- autorun.sh: Install script

- README: Quick guide

- Makefile
superio_wdt_test (directory): Watchdog Client

-watchdog-test.c: Watchdog client source code

-Makefile

6.2.1 open

The watchdog provides an open() interface, which is “/dev/watchdog” handling. Seek is not
supported in this feature. The Watchdog timer is started when a user application opens the
watchdog module. The Watchdog Driver disables LAN bypass (BYPASS_LAN#) when the
user opens the watchdog.

PROTOTYPE

static int open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to open “/dev/watchdog” handling.
int open(const char *pathname, int flags) may be used in client to call this feature.

PARAMETERS
pathname [IN] Pathname which locates watchdog device file.
flags [IN] Access permission bits. “O_RDONLY” read only, “O_WRONLY” write only,

“O_RDWR” read/write.

RETURN

File descriptor: success

-1: error

6.2.2 write

The Watchdog Driver provides a write() interface. A write to a watchdog device is defined as
a keepalive signal. After receiving a write call, the Watchdog Driver will do the watchdog
feeding.

As the content is not defined, any character will do except the character “V”, which is the
signal for “Magic Close”. The driver will not disable the watchdog unless a specific magic
character 'V' has been sent to “/dev/watchdog” just before closing the file. If the user space
daemon closes the file without sending this special character, the driver will assume that the
daemon (and user space in general) died, and will stop the watchdog without disabling it first.
This will then cause a reboot if the watchdog is not re-opened in sufficient time.

35

CSA-5200

PROTOTYPE

static ssize_t write(struct file *file, const char __user *data,size_t len, loff_t *ppos)

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to write information to be given to watchdog device.
int write(int handle, void *buf, int nbyte) may be used in client to call this feature.

PARAMETERS
handle [IN] File handle to the watchdog;
buf [IN] Buffer to write;
nbyte [IN] Count of bytes;

RETURN

Number of bytes actually written: success

-1: error

6.2.3 ioctl

The Watchdog Driver provides several ioctl options:
WDIOS_DISABLECARD, used to turn off the watchdog timer. The Watchdog Driver support

module parameter WATCHDOG_NOWAYOUT. If it is set, there is no way of disabling the
watchdog once it has been started. So, if the watchdog daemon crashes, the system will
reboot after the timeout has passed.

WDIOS_ENABLECARD, used to turn on the watchdog timer.
WDIOC_SETOPTIONS, used to set the watchdog status.
WDIOC_GETSTATUS, used to determines the status supported by watchdog ioctl. The

status bit of the device does not allow distinguishing between a regular system reset and a
watchdog forced reset. But, in test mode it is useful, so it is supported through
WDIOC_GETSTATUS watchdog ioctl. Additionally the driver reports the keepalive signal and
the acception of the magic.

WDIOC_SETTIMEOUT, used to change the watchdog timeout parameter (1s-255s). The
Watchdog Driver support module parameter DEFAULT_TIMEOUT. If it set then the
Watchdog Driver will use it as the watchdog timeout parameter. If it is not set, the default
watchdog timeout parameter is 5s.

WDIOC_GETTIMEOUT, used to query the watchdog timeout parameter.
WDIOC_KEEPALIVE, used to feed the watchdog, just like the write () interface.
WDIOC_ENABLEBYPS, which is a custom command, used to enable the LAN bypass.

Defined as below:
#define WDIOC_ENABLEBYPS _IOR(WATCHDOG_IOCTL_BASE, 101, int)
WDIOC_DISABLEBYPS, which is a custom command, used to disable the LAN bypass.

Defined as below:
#define WDIOC_DISABLEBYPS _IOR(WATCHDOG_IOCTL_BASE, 102, int)

PROTOTYPE

static long ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)

36

CSA-5200

DESCRIPTION

This function defines functions for the watchdog device according to the available
features.
int ioctl(int handle, int cmd,[int *argdx, int argcx]) may be used in client to call this
feature.

PARAMETERS
handle [IN] File handle to the watchdog;
cmd [IN] Watchdog command, such as “WDIOC_xxx”;
argxx [IN/OUT] Argument pointer, such as“WDIOS_xxx”, only used after

WDIOC_SETOPTIONS.

RETURN

0: success

-1: error

6.2.4 release

The Watchdog Driver provides several ioctl options:

Closing the watchdog device either stops the watchdog timer or in the case that nowayout is
set or the magic character wasn't written, a critical warning about a running watchdog timer
will be given.

PROTOTYPE

static int release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)

DESCRIPTION

This function is used to check whether the watchdog device closing is expected or not. This
feature will be called automatically when closing the watchdog device file “/dev/watchdog”.

7 BIOS Setup

The following chapter describes basic navigation for the CSA-5200 BIOS setup utility.

7.1 Entering BIOS Setup

To enter the setup screen, follow these steps:

1. Power on the motherboard

2. Press the < Delete > key on your keyboard when you see the following text prompt: <
Press DEL to enter Setup >

3. After you press the < Delete > key, the main BIOS setup menu displays. You can
access the other setup screens from the main BIOS setup menu, such as Chipset and
Power menus.

CSA-5200

In most cases, the < Delete > key is used to invoke the setup screen. However, there
are several cases that use other keys, such as < F1 >, < F2 >, and so on.

40

CSA-5200

7.2 Setup Menu

The Main BIOS setup menu is the first screen that you can navigate to. The Main BIOS
setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be
configured. “Grayed” options cannot be configured, and “Blue” options can be. The right
frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message.
When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message
will accompany it.

7.3 Navigation

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of the
BIOS setup utility hot keys can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
These keys include < F1 >, < F10 >, < Enter >, < ESC >, < Arrow > keys, and so on.

There is a hot key legend located in the right frame on most setup screens.

41

→← Left/Right. The Left and Right < Arrow > keys allow you to select a setup

screen.
For example: Main screen, Advanced screen, Chipset screen, and so on.

↑↓ Up/Down The Up and Down < Arrow > keys allow you to select a setup item

or sub-screen.

+- Plus/Minus The Plus and Minus < Arrow > keys allow you to change the field

value of a particular setup item.
For example: Date and Time.
