IXIa IBYPASS HD Bypass Switch

A new level of high-density bypass switch available for inline network security appliances, Ixia’s iBypass HD stands out for a number of reasons. First, iBypass HD supports two to eight segments, with each segment operating independently to ensure link protection. You can connect and remove appliances without affecting traffic through the links or the performance of other segments. A modular design ensures that the iBypass HD chassis can accept four hot-pluggable dual bypass modules (DBMs), each one providing two independent bypass switches for greater support and deployment flexibility. And, in the event of a tool failure, iBypass HD automatically switches to “bypass on” mode.

• Offers high-availability (HA) configurations to support monitoring environments
• Available in "fail closed" mode for greater convenience with optional "fail open" mode
• Features a managed interface accessible through a secure, dedicated management port
• Industry's fastest heartbeat to detect and react to failures faster and failover with less data loss
• Accepts four hot-pluggable DBMs that can also be configured as an HA failover pair
• Handles network traffic entirely in hardware, so data flowing through inline links can never be hacked or compromised
