10/100/1000 Bypass Switch
Introduction
Net Optics 10/100/1000 Bypass Switches provide a permanent and trouble-
free access port for in-line network security and monitoring devices . The
10/100/1000 Bypass Switch automatically switches network traffic through
added in-line devices or bypasses devices that are about to be removed . Pre-
vent link failure when attached IPS and IDS devices lose power by powering
the Bypass Switch and in-line device from the same power source .
Uninterrupted Traffic
The 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch supports fail-safe monitoring with any
10/100/1000 in-line device when it shares the same power source as the
in-line appliance . While the 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch is receiving power,
it diverts network traffic to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line
traffic is routed directly to the device connected to the 10/100/1000 Bypass
Switch .
When the 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch loses power, in-line traffic continues
to flow through the network link, but is no longer routed through the device.
This allows the network devices to be removed and replaced without network
downtime . Once power is restored to the 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch, network
traffic is seamlessly diverted to the in-line device, allowing it to resume its
critical functions .
Simply Plug It In
Each Bypass Switch includes all the cables and power supplies you need to
quickly connect to an IPS . Three quick steps is all it takes to establish a secure
connection point for in-line devices .
