The 8000 Series can be delivered with the following modules without
configurable bypass capability:
•
a quad-port 1000BASE-T copper interface without bypass capability. See
Quad-Port 1000BASE-T Copper Non-Bypass NetMod
on page 72 for more
information.
•
a quad-port 1000BASE-SX fiber interface without bypass capability. See
Quad-Port 1000BASE-SX Fiber Non-Bypass NetMod
on page 72 for more
information.
•
a quad-port 10GBASE (MMSR or SMLR) fiber interface without bypass
capability. See
Quad-Port 10GBASE (MMSR or SMLR) Fiber Non-Bypass
on page 72 for more information.
A stacking module is optional on the 3D8140 and 3D8250, and is provided in the
3D8260/8270/8290 stacked configurations. See
page 73 for more information.

You can use these connections to passively monitor up to four separate network
segments. You also can use paired interfaces in inline or inline with bypass mode,
which allows you to deploy the device as an intrusion prevention system on up to
two networks.
If you want to take advantage of the device’s automatic bypass capability, you
must connect either the two interfaces on the left or the two interfaces on the
right to a network segment. This allows traffic to flow even if the device fails or
loses power. You must also use the web interface to configure a pair of interfaces
as an inline set and enable bypass mode on the inline set.
