10/100/1000 iBypass Switch with Heartbeat
Insert or remove any in-line appliance without downtime
Net Optics intelligent 10/100/1000 Bypass (iBypass) Switch with Heartbeat introduces the industries first remotely accessible in-line security access device. IT security professionals can now monitor and configure traffic parameters being sent to their IPS devices, ensuring more efficient data capture. Bi-directional traffic utilization and peak indicators can now be viewed on-line or via front panel display to help identify possible network or application anomalies before there is a major outage. With available Net Optics management software, a comprehensive view of all intelligent devices and their operating status are accessible.
Exclusive Net Optics "Heartbeat and Link Fault Detect" features allow an iBypass Switch and IPS appliance to share state information. A configurable heartbeat packet sent from the iBypass Switch to the IPS helps identify link anomalies or device failures. In the event of a device failure, IPS redeployment or a software malfunction, traffic is routed from the in-line appliance using Fast PathTM switching technology through the iBypass Switch.
New Remote Management Capabilities
Net Optics Web Manager and System Manager offer two new levels of remote management capability depending on your IT needs. These new software based tools provide for easy to read security and performance information from either a single device or all of the Net Optics devices deployed in your network.
Net Optics Web Manager is the browser-based interface that allows you to change settings, view status, and retrieve data remotely with simple-to-use controls. When you access an iBypass Switch with Web Manager, all configuration, status, and traffic data are displayed on a single page. Changes to the configuration can be made with a few clicks of the mouse.
Net Optics System Manager is a centralized management tool that can be configured to access all Net Optics intelligent devices in the network using SNMP. With System Manager, you can organize iBypass Switches into groups according to workgroup, location, or any other criteria. As with Web Manager, you can view all status, configuration, and traffic information and quickly make changes to any iBypass Switch in the system.
Each 10/100/1000 iBypass Switch includes all the cables and power supplies necessary to connect to an IPS. Three quick steps are all it takes to establish a secure connection point for in-line devices. For special applications, the bypass trigger, heartbeat rate, and heartbeat packet can be customized from an RS232 command line interface.
The 10/100/1000 iBypass Switch supports fail-safe monitoring with any 10/100/1000BaseT in-line device when it shares the same power source as the in-line appliance. While the iBypass Switch is receiving power, it diverts network traffic to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line traffic is routed directly to the device connected to the Bypass Switch.
When the 10/100/1000 iBypass Switch loses power, in-line traffic continues to flow through the network link, but is no longer routed through the device. This allows the network devices to be removed and replaced without network downtime. Once power is restored to the iBypass Switch, network traffic is seamlessly diverted to the in-line device, allowing it to resume its critical functions.
and expense of traveling to the device’s physical location.
Manager gets the job done in just a few quick mouse clicks.
Operating Specifications:
Operating Temperature: 0ºC to 40ºC
Storage Temperature: -10ºC to 70ºC
Relative Humidity: 10% min, 95% max, non-condensing
Mechanical Specifications:
Input Power: 100-240V, 0.5A, 47-63Hz
Output Power: 12V, 3A
Dimensions: 1.3125" high x 11" deep x 8.75" wide
Cable Interface:
Copper Cable Type: 22-24 AWG unshielded twisted pair cable, CAT5/CAT5E
Link Distance Supported: 100 meters
Modes:
Bypass OFF: Normal operation; traffic flows through attached monitoring device
Bypass ON: During power failure or if the monitoring device cannot pass traffic,
the monitoring device is bypassed and traffic flows directly between the network
ports; traffic is also mirrored to the monitor ports as if the iBypass Switch were a
full-duplex breakout Tap
Tap: The CLI command “set timeout 0” to force Bypass ON mode; the iBypass Switch
operates as a full-duplex breakout Tap (for V2.2.1 or later, use "set mode=1" to
enter tap mode, "set mode 2" to return to bypass mode)
