Connect, maintain, and remove single- segment and multi-segment IPS appliances without affecting traffic through the links or the operation of the other segments. High-availability configurations let you link pairs of bypass switches to support both tool and link redundancy. Rely on the exclusive Link Fault Detect, Bypass Detect, and Heartbeat features to support your network availability. Configurable Heartbeat packets are sent from the iBypass HD switch through the IPS in both directions to monitor the health of the IPS. When a fault condition is detected, the IPS loses power or is redeployed, or IPS software malfunctions, traffic is automatically routed using FastPath™ switching technology directly through the iBypass HD switch rather than through the inline appliance, keeping the network traffic flowing. Eight segments protected in a 1U appliance Modular design for deployment flexibility Customizable behavior through Command Line Interface (CLI) RMON traffic statistics on all ports High availability configurations Enterprise-ready management features (TACACS+, RADIUS) IPS IPS iBypass HD Switch Switch IPS Switch Switch Switch Router Router High availability con gurations enable the iBypass HD to support environments that use tool redundancy and link redundancy.

    BENEFITS iBypass AND BYPASS Switches Fail-Safe Access Ports for zero downtime in Monitoring vital network traffic The Net Optics family of iBypass™ Switches offers you trouble-free access ports to support your inline network security and monitoring devices. Because the switch is a passive appliance, link traffic continues to flow even if the switch itself loses power. A “Heartbeat” packet ensures that a monitoring appliance is actually passing traffic: If this packet doesn’t return to the bypass switch, that appliance may be down. The switch instantly goes into bypass mode and takes that appliance out of the traffic path. When Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs), firewalls, and other vital security equipment lose power or need maintenance, Net Optics Bypass Switches ensure that traffic continues to flow uninterrupted on the affected network link. A Bypass Switch can automatically switch network traffic around an unresponsive IPS appliance—even if the IPS is still powered on. Once the IPS re-establishes a connection, traffic is re-routed to the device for continued operation. Protects the network from IPS link, application, and power outages Provides greater compatibility with all network devices Enables maximum network uptime Maintains monitoring appliances without downtime because the bypass switch enables network traffic to flow when appliances are offline Ensures alerts if monitoring devices are offline or slow to respond Enhances monitoring security with no IP address needed on network and monitor ports Trouble-free access port for inline network security and WAN optimization tools Bypass Switch with Heartbeat adds automated link fail-open protection Remote access through 10/100/1000 management port Support for 10Mbps to 10Gbps connectivity and managed models Redundant power User-configurable Heartbeat packets
