Failsafe security for inline devices.
Keysight’s Intelligent Bypass (iBypass) Switches let your security team connect an unlimited number of inline tools like firewalls and IPSs to your network – without adding single points of failure.
- Automatically redirect traffic when links, devices, or power fails
- Perform maintenance without taking down links
- Mirror network traffic to monitoring and visibility tools for processing
Bypass costly outages.
- Keysight bypass switches provide failsafe, inline protection for networks of any size. Safeguard your network with automated failover protection to prevent tool outages from escalating into network outages.
- IBypass sends heartbeat packets to inline tools to detect when one fails or loses power. If the heartbeat doesn’t come back, traffic gets rerouted to flow around the failed tool and keep traffic moving.
“Why Keysight?”
