Bypass Network TAP

10G Bypass TAP

F1-10G-BP

Bypass Network TAP for Optimal Network Security

The F1-10G-BP ensures fail-safe access for in-line security and performance tools, such as IDS/IPS and NGFW, and prevents these in-line tools from being single points of failure in the network. The Profitap 10G Bypass TAP is placed in front of in-line security appliances to keep the network link operational even if the TAP itself becomes unavailable.

The 10G Bypass TAP actively checks the availability of the in-line tools by sending heartbeat packets. If the in-line tools are compromised, the Bypass TAP automatically switches to bypass mode, maintaining the traffic flow through the network.
