Copper Bypass TAP Switch To Keep Network Traffic Flowing When Inline Security Tools Fail

Copper Bypass TAP Switch To Keep Network Traffic Flowing When Inline Security Tools Fail
 
1. What is Copper Bypass TAP?
Copper Bypass TAP also called Bypass Switch, Copper Bypass Switch, a intelligent bypass tap provide automated fail-safe, in line protection, such as an intrusion prevention system (IPS), next-generation firewall (NGFW), etc. for any size active-active or active-passive networks, which provide fail-safe inline protection for network monitoring tools. 
With a growing number of in-line security tools being installed, there is a risk that a tool fails and it could cause network downtime and loss of data. The Copper Bypass TAP device combines fail-safe access ports for inline security tools, to protect networks from a single point of failure, and advanced visibility features to send traffic of interest to external monitoring tools.
In normal mode, traffic flows through the Copper Bypass TAP or Switch before it travels through the security tool and back onto the network. The Copper Bypass TAP Switch automatically detects a tool failure through the insertion of heartbeat packets into network traffic. The Copper Bypass TAP continuously monitors the attached tools; if the expected number of ‘heartbeat’ packets are not returned, it assumes that a failover condition has occurred. The Copper Bypass TAP quickly switches to bypass mode and, in doing so, enables traffic to continue to flow on the network link.
 
Copper Bypass TAP Bypass the LAN Switch for Internet Security
Copper Bypass Switches are deployed between network devices and in front of security tools, providing a reliable separation point between the network and security layers. They lead to the comprehensive support of network and security tools without the risk of network interruptions.
- In-line monitoring for intrusion prevention / detection
- Provides fail-safe access through bypass LAN ports
- Ethernet TAPs seamlessly duplicate full-duplex 10M/100M/1G traffic at wire speed

3. Copper Bypass TAP Switch Technology Example for “SpecFlow” Policy Flow Inline Traction Series Protection
 
 
When the inline security network device only needs to deal with the specific traffic in series security protection, through the NetTAP® " copper bypass tap switch" traffic per-processing function, through the traffic screening strategy to connect the security device " Concerned "traffic is sent back directly to the network link, and the" concerned traffic section "is traction to the in-line safety device to perform safety checks. This will not only maintain the normal application of the safety detection function of the safety device, but also reduce the inefficient flow of the safety equipment to deal with the pressure; at the same time, the "bypass protector" can detect the working condition of the safety device in real time. The safety device works abnormally bypasses the data traffic directly to avoid disruption of network service.
The NetTAP® Traffic Bypass Protector can identify traffic based on the L2-L4 layer header identifier, such as VLAN tag,source / destination MAC address, source IP address, IP packet type, transport layer protocol port, protocol header key tag, and so on. A variety of matching conditions flexible combination can be defined flexibly to define the specific traffic types that are of interest to a particular security device and can be widely used for the deployment of special security auditing devices (RDP, SSH, database auditing, etc.).
