Chapter 1. About the 10G Network Active Bypass unit
The 10G Network Active Bypass unit is a 10 Gb external bypass switch that is installed inline with the
IBM Security Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) appliance. The 10G Network Active Bypass unit
can automatically switch to bypass mode to ensure that network traffic continues to flow should the
connected Network IPS appliance lose a network link, lose power, or is removed from the network.
About the 10G Network Active Bypass unit
This topic provides an overview of the 10G Network Active Bypass unit.
