In-Line Protection for up to 4x10G Network Links
The F4-10G-BP Bypass TAP provides fail-safe in-line access for the monitoring of up to 4 in-line 10G links. It prevents the in-line network security and performance tools from being single points of failure and ensures high availability and security for your networks.
The F4-10G-BP Bypass TAP actively checks the availability of the 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 traffic flow through the network until the issue is resolved.
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 4x10G Bypass TAP’s fail-safe protection keeps the critical link up.
