Note –
Setting the appliance to the initial bypass state can be useful
during IPS appliance deployment when bypass network interface pairs
on the appliance are in the Normal mode. Initial bypass allows traffic
to flow through the IPS appliance until the initial configuration is ready

set the initial bypass state when the bypass network interface pairs
are in the Bypass mode.
Note –
The Management interface must be the same that is
configured as the Primary Control Interface for the corresponding
engine element in the Management Center.
