Load Balance Tap Mode
In this mode, the network and initial inline appliance ports are defined by the system for each tap. Each
tap may have up to three additional inline appliance ports applied, total 4. The ports will be automatically
configured by the system in the order assigned to each tap. The ports availability are considered in
vertical pairs, 17/18, 19/20, etc. Any port that is not assigned as an inline appliance port may be
configured as a packet broker port. The network ports are typically connected to network devices such as a
server or router. The inline appliance ports are typically connected to IPSs or tools to monitor the
network traffic. The network traffic is load balanced to the inline appliance ports. However, heartbeat
packets are transmitted bidirectionally from inline appliance ports on the tap through the IPSs or tools to
monitor the health of the devices.
