Abstract
A power loss detector monitors a power supply to a monitored networking device to detect an imminent power loss, where a port of the monitored networking device is connected to a bypass module. A bypass controller in a bypass module in response to detecting the imminent power loss, determines whether to bypass the monitored networking device; and in the event it is determined to bypass the monitored networking device, configures an electromechanical relay in the bypass module to create a new connection associated with the port of the monitored networking device that bypasses the monitored networking device. The configured electromechanical relay maintains the new connection for at least some time after the imminent power loss.
