4.4 Bypass
4.4.1 Introduction
Bypass provides reliable and uninterrupted connections of inline network devices when any of
the devices encounter hardware failure such as power outage. Figure 1 shows the topology
consisting of switches without bypass function. When any of the devices breaks down, the
network will lose connection.
Figure 1
Figure 2 shows the topology consisting of switches with bypass functions. When one of the
devices is unavailable, the network traffic will bypass the inactive device and continue to flow
to other active devices, ensuring consistent connections.
