M10GxxBP Series Modular Tap
Installation Guide
LFP or Link Failure Propagation: Allows link state to be mirrored to adjacent live network interfaces. When one side of a network loses link on a
connecting tap, the link state is propagated to the other interface of the tap and ultimately to the other side of the network. Enabled by default.
LK or Link/Activity: Solid when link is achieved and flashes when data is detected on an interface.
BP or Bypass: A mode that allows active temporary bypass of an inline appliance or sensor type IPS/DLP device. Bypass is based on the ope rating
characteristics of the connected network appliance. When a bypass tap device is not able to detect link or heartbeats from (or through) inline appliance
or sensor connecting to the C and D sensor port pair, the appliance is bypassed automatically, keeping link up and networks online and passing data.
Aggregation: Combines data flows for full-duplex monitoring on a single interface. Ideal when monitoring both sides of network traffic simultaneously.
Breakout: Separates data flows for half-duplex directional monitoring. Ideal when utilization is very high and packet loss is not an option.
SPAN or Regenerate: Allows users to multiply one or more inputs into many outputs. BP LED s are not used while this mode is configured.
FailSafe: On power loss, live network tap ports re-establish link with each other, resuming traffic flow between critical network devices. Always on.
Reverse Bypass: Disables link on both live network ports if all inline appliances lose link or cannot pass traffic. Disabled by default.
Packet Injection: Allows monitor ports to inject Ethernet frames back into the live network flows.
