Automatic Failover = Constant Link State

Deploying in-line monitoring devices such as intrusion prevention systems (IPS) or bridge devices like VPN gateways and firewalls used to mean a potential point of failure on the network. When one of these devices malfunctioned or became overwhelmed with traffic, network outages could occur. This posed serious challenges when deployed on mission critical links.

The DURAstream™ 10G Bypass Switch ensures your network’s most important data does not fail even when in-line devices do. Deploying a DURAstream™ 10G Bypass Switch ensures uptime of critical 10 GigE links regardless of in-line device performance by diverting critical network traffic away from malfunctioning in-line devices until such devices are operating normally. This not only alleviates potential issues with traffic congestion affecting link behavior caused by an IPS, it allows maintenance and upgrades of attached in-line tools without network downtime.

The DURAstream™ 1010 Bypass Switch is an easy-to-manage external active bypass providing failover capabilities for data monitoring of critical 10 Gigabit network segments.

Line-rate throughput and real-time data forwarding hardware protects data and allows critical voice and data applications to perform uninterrupted and meet high demands for quality and security. Deployed with an in-line monitoring tool, a DURAstream™ 10G Bypass Switch creates a comprehensive solution for intrusion prevention.

Heartbeat Mode

The DURAstream™ 1010 Bypass Switch can monitor the health of in-line appliances by sending and receiving a heartbeat packet. A user programmable heartbeat packet can be injected into the monitoring port link to determine availability of attached monitoring devices or help determine delay due to high traffic volume. Even if a connected in-line tool is powered on, the bypass switch can automatically switch traffic around it until the device returns to normal operation. At that time, traffic is re-routed back to the monitor port.

Passive Mode

In the event of power loss, the switch closes to create a physical connection, which in turn, creates a passive bypass path to help prevent traffic interruption.

Robust Management, Security and Logging

Manage your switch using built-in CLI or GUI, including secure web interface over HTTPS. Supports secure shell (SSH), SNMP, e-mail notifications, TACACS+ as well as Syslog to enable consolidation of log data from multiple systems into a central repository.

Reliable and Easy to Use

The DURAstream™ 1010 Bypass Switch is simple to deploy, enables plug-and-play connectivity, and is compatible with all major manufacturer’s monitoring systems. Every unit not only comes with dual redundant power supplies to ensure monitoring uptime, the voltage of each power supply is continuously monitored for instances of power decline or outage. In such cases, the unit can initiate a switch to passive bypass mode.
