4x10G Bypass TAP F4-10G-BP The 4x10G Bypass TAP allows the monitoring of up to 4 in-line 10G links. This TAP allows Network Engineers to manually bypass the in-line tool, to keep the network fully operational during maintenance and troubleshooting. Placed in front of in-line tools, it represents a fail-safe solution that continuously checks their availability. Therefore, if the tools’ availability is compromised in any way, the TAP automatically switches to a bypass mode, maintaining the network link up until the issue is fixed. Fail-Safe Bypass & Heartbeat Designed to support active in-line network security and performance tools, our Bypass TAPs make sure these devices don’t become a single point of failure in your network. By sending heartbeat packets, they can accurately track if the connected device is operational. In case the in-line device fails, either due to a hardware malfunction, power loss, or software problem, the fail-safe protection of the Bypass TAP will keep the critical link up.
