Fail-safe Solution for Optimal Network Availability
The Profitap 40G Bypass TAP provides secure access for monitoring active in-line network security and performance tools. It is a fail-safe solution that actively checks the availability of in-line tools by sending heartbeat packets.
If the tools’ availability is compromised in any way, the TAP automatically switches to its bypass mode, maintaining the network link up until the issue is resolved. The Bypass TAP also allows network engineers to manually bypass the in-line tools, keeping the network fully operational during maintenance and troubleshooting.
Technical Specifications
Fail-Safe Bypass & Heartbeat
Designed to support active in-line network security and performance tools, our Bypass TAPs ensure these devices don’t become single points of failure in your network. By sending heartbeat packets, they can accurately track if the connected devices are operational.
In the event that an in-line device fails, either due to a hardware malfunction, power loss, or software problem, the 40G Bypass TAP’s fail-safe protection keeps the critical link up.
