Installation Guide for 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch
Introduction
Net Optics GigaBit Bypass Switches provide a permanent and trouble-free
access port for in-line network security and monitoring devices. The GigaBit
Bypass Switch automatically switches network trafc through added in-line
devices or bypasses devices that are about to be removed. Prevent 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 Trafc
The GigaBit Bypass Switch supports fail-open monitoring with any
10/100/1000 GigaBit in-line device when it shares the same power source as
the in-line appliance. While the GigaBit Bypass Switch is receiving power, it
diverts network trafc to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line traf-
c is routed directly to the device connected to the GigaBit Bypass Switch.
When the GigaBit Bypass Switch loses power, in-line trafc 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 GigaBit Bypass Switch, network
trafc 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 inline devices.
