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 trafc 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 Trafc
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 trafc to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line
trafc 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 trafc continues
to ow 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
trafc 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.
