10G Bypass TAP
F1-10G-BP
Bypass Network TAP for Optimal Network Security
The F1-10G-BP ensures fail-safe access for in-line security and performance tools, such as IDS/IPS and NGFW, and prevents these in-line tools from being single points of failure in the network. The Profitap 10G Bypass TAP is placed in front of in-line security appliances to keep the network link operational even if the TAP itself becomes unavailable.
The 10G Bypass TAP actively checks the availability of the in-line tools by sending heartbeat packets. If the in-line tools are compromised, the Bypass TAP automatically switches to bypass mode, maintaining the traffic flow through the network.

- Customizable heartbeat packets, including IPX, ICMP request/reply, LCP request/reply and TCP-SYN
- Link Failure Propagation (LFP)
- 1G/10G operation
- High reliability design, no point of failure
The Key for Keeping Your Network Safe and Secure
Bypass TAPs provide fail-safe access for active in-line network security and performance tools. In the event that an active in-line tool becomes unavailable, either due to a hardware malfunction, power loss, software problem, or planned maintenance, bypass TAPs ensure the network link stays operational.
Fail-Safe Bypass & HeartbeatDesigned to support active in-line network security and performance tools, our Bypass TAPs ensure these devices don’t become single points of failure in your network. By sending heartbeat packets, they can accurately track if the connected devices are operational.
In the event that an in-line device fails, either due to a hardware malfunction, power loss, or software problem, the 10G Bypass TAP’s fail-safe protection keeps the critical link up
