Banner - PacketHawk - Intelligent 10G/40G/100G Network Bypass TAP/Switch

A Bypass TAP/Switch is essential for maintaining uninterrupted connectivity and smooth network operation. It acts as a fail-safe mechanism in the event that devices fail or require maintenance, allowing traffic to continue flowing without interruption.

It also provides the flexibility to reroute traffic for security monitoring or analysis purposes without impacting network performance.

Essentially, investing in a Bypass TAP is critical to optimising reliability, security and operational efficiency in any network infrastructure.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Supports 10G/40G/100G networks
  • Supports 2 In-Line devices on a single network line
  • Heartbeat packet: ICMP, IPX, UDP, firewall support
  • Network and In-Line port health check as well as speed and duplex monitoring
  • 6 bypass modes: auto, semi-auto, force inline, force bypass, tap-separate, tap-aggregate
  • Console, Telnet, SSH, HTTP, HTTPS interfaces
  • Link Loss Detection (LLD), behaviour in the event of a network connection failure
  • Redundant bypass behaviour in the event of a Bypass TAP/switch failure : Active Bypass, Passive Bypass
  • Supports TAP mode: Net A, Net B traffic any-to-any mapping
  • Supports mirror mode: mapping of In-Line 1 to In-Line 2, In-Line 2 to In-Line 1 port traffic
  • Filtering by In-Line port IP, port : include or exclude
  • Syslog support (registration of up to 5 syslog servers)
  • Supports ACL (Access Control List) policies for the management port
