Introducing Network VirusWall Enforcer
1-5
While the management ports are onboard ports, Network VirusWall Enforcer data ports
are provided using Silicom PEG2BPi-SD-RoHS (Dual port Copper Gigabit Ethernet
PCI Express Bypass Server Adapter). This server adapter provides maximum network
uptime with copper bypass circuitry.
By using bypass server adapters, Network VirusWall Enforcer data ports provide a
fault-tolerance solution known as "failopen" or "LAN bypass". This solution allows the
Network VirusWall Enforcer to continue passing network traffic even if other device
components fail or when the device loses power.
Note:
Management ports do not support failopen.

You can access the Web con-
sole through all regular ports,
but you can also dedicate a
single port for accessing the
Web console and managing the
device.
Mirror
(MIRR)
Assign this function to send all
traffic going through this port.
You can use this port to capture
all scanning data, which can be
used for debugging. Note that
having a mirror port can impact
performance.
