An Ethernet switch which includes an input terminal and an output terminal for coupling the Ethernet switch to a communication network is provided. The switch further includes a power terminal for coupling the Ethernet switch to a power supply, and a control unit being adapted to control the path of signals within the Ethernet switch. In a first operation mode, the control unit is adapted for directing signals received via the input terminal to an internal input terminal of the Ethernet switch, for receiving signals from an internal output terminal and for outputting signals via the output terminal. In a second operation mode, the control unit is adapted for directing signals received via the input terminal to the output terminal. The control unit is adapted to switch from the first operation mode into the second operation mode in response to a predefined trigger event.
