Bypass I/O modules
The NX-Platform IPS supports a range of bypass I/O modules (BIOMs), which combine the IPS segment
interfaces with mechanical bypass switches for high-availability purposes.
The BIOMs offered for the NX-Platform support various interface speed and connectivity types, including
copper or fiber, 1Gbps or 10Gbps, and long range or short range.
The BIOMs can route traffic within the module when the IPS loses power or when the module is removed
from the IPS. Using the LSM, CLI, or SMS, you can also configure the BIOMs to bypass traffic on a per-
module basis.
