ibypass HD MODULAR, FLEXIBLE, FAIL-OVER BYPASS SWITCHES WITH HIGH AVAILABILITY CAPABILITIES Ideal for inline network security applications such as intrusion prevention, Web optimization, and firewalls, Net Optics ibypass HD supports two to eight segments, with each segment operating independently to ensure link protection. Connect, maintain, and remove singlesegment 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 IPS IPS IPS 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. Router Router ibypass HD High availability configurations enable the ibypass HD to support environments that use tool redundancy and link redundancy. Tool redundant (top left), non-redundant (top right) and link redundant (bottom) IPS deployments are shown. Eight segments protected in a 1U appliance Passive, secure technology 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) Easy installation and operation with front-mounted connectors Fail-safe monitoring with any Gigabit inline appliance Increased reliability for important network links Compatible with all major manufacturers, IPSs, and firewalls Easy remote management through secure SSH connection
ibypass AND BYPASS SWITCHES FAIL-SAFE ACCESS PORTS FOR ZERO DOWNTIME IN MONITORING VITAL NETWORK TRAFFIC The Net Optics family of ibypass es 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. Firewall When Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs), firewalls, and other vital security equipment lose ON OFF power or need maintenance, Net Optics Bypass es ensure that traffic continues to flow uninterrupted on the affected network link. A Bypass can automatically switch ibypass 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 Management IPS continued operation. Trouble-free access port for inline network security and WAN optimization tools Bypass with Heartbeat adds automated link fail-open protection Remote access through 10/100/1000 management port Support for 10Mbps to connectivity and managed models Redundant power User-configurable Heartbeat packets 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

REGENERATION TAPS PASSIVE, REAL-TIME REGENERATION TAP TECHNOLOGY FOR SIMULTANEOUS TRAFFIC MONITORING ON IMPORTANT LINKS Regeneration Taps provide visibility into one network link with up to eight attached security or monitoring tools. All traffic between network devices is transparently forwarded at 100 percent full-duplex rates without introducing a point of failure even in the event of a loss of power. Multiple monitoring tools such as traffic analysis monitors, RMON probes, and intrusion detection systems connected to the Regeneration Tap allow for deep levels of analysis from a single 1U-high device. Inline and Span Port versions provide the ability to deploy monitoring tools in two scenarios. Depending on your needs, the inline or Span models make it possible to collect traffic from multiple network switches or routers that are utilizing Span ports, or they can be deployed inline between two network devices for deeper traffic capture and analysis. All leading security and monitoring tools and a wide variety of media and speeds from 10/100Mbps to fiber are supported.
