Introduction
Net Optics 10 GigaBit Optical Bypass Switches provide a permanent and
trouble-free access port for in-line network security and monitoring devices.
The Optical Bypass Switch automatically switches network trafc through
added in-line devices or bypasses devices that are about to be removed. Prevent link failure when attached IPS and IDS devices lose power by powering
the Bypass Switch and in-line device from the same power source.
Uninterrupted Trafc
The Optical Bypass Switch supports fail-open monitoring with any 10 Giga-
Bit ber in-line device when it shares the same power source as the in-line
appliance. While the Optical Bypass Switch is receiving power, it diverts
network trafc to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line trafc is
routed directly to the device connected to the Optical Bypass Switch.
When the Optical Bypass Switch loses power, in-line trafc continues to
ow 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 Optical Bypass Switch, network
trafc is seamlessly diverted to the in-line device, allowing it to resume its
critical functions.
10 GigaBit Optical Bypass Switch
Simply Plug It In
Each Bypass Switch includes all the cables and power supplies you need to
quickly connect to an IPS. Three quick steps is all it takes to establish a secure
connection point for in-line devices.

Power Loss Bypass
The Optical Bypass Switch protects link integrity when the in-line appliance
loses power. When the Bypass Switch is receiving power it is in Bypass Dis-
abled (OFF) mode. In Bypass Disabled mode the switch sends network trafc
through the connnected device.
Figure 3: Bypass Disabled Mode
10 GigaBit Optical Bypass Switch
When power to switch fails, it enters Bypass Enabled (ON) mode and network
trafc bypasses the connected device until power to the switch is restored.
