Introduction

Net Optics GigaBit Bypass Switches provide a permanent and trouble-free
access port for in-line network security and monitoring devices. The GigaBit

Bypass Switch automatically switches network trafc 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 Trafc

The GigaBit Bypass Switch supports fail-open monitoring with any
10/100/1000 GigaBit in-line device when it shares the same power source as
the in-line appliance. While the GigaBit Bypass Switch is receiving power, it

diverts network trafc to attached in-line devices. In this state, all in-line traf­c is routed directly to the device connected to the GigaBit Bypass Switch.

When the GigaBit Bypass Switch loses power, in-line trafc 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 GigaBit Bypass Switch, network

trafc is seamlessly diverted to the in-line device, allowing it to resume its

critical functions.

Installation Guide for 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch

Connecting the 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch to the
Network

1. Unpack the Bypass Switch, and obtain the required cables needed to
successfully install the unit.

2. Connect Network Port A to the appropriate switch, server or router device.
This will act as your DCE Interface.

3. Connect Network Port B to the appropriate switch, server or router device.
This will act as your DTE interface.

4. Verify that the Bypass Switch Network Ports are cabled in-line between two
devices.

Connecting the 10/100/1000 Bypass Switch to the
Intrusion Prevention Device

1. Connect Monitoring Port A to the IPS sensor port A using a CAT5 RJ45
cable. This will act as your DCE Interface.

2. Connect Monitoring Port B to the IPS sensor port B using a CAT5 RJ45
cable. This will act as your DTE interface.

3. Verify that the Switch Monitoring Ports are cabled in-line between two
devices.

Cabling Guidelines

10/100 Devices:

- If connecting to Switches or Hubs, use CAT5 RJ-45 Cross-over cabling.

- If connecting to Routers or NIC cards, use CAT5 RJ-45 Straight-thru
cabling.

GigaBit Devices:

- CAT5 RJ-45 Straight-thru cabling.
