Preserve Intrusion Prevention Availability and Link Uptime
IPS sensor applications receive the actual network traffic rather than a regenerated copy. It is then critical that if the IPS monitor link fails, network traffic bypasses the IPS device. Additionally no network interruption should occur in case of IPS software upgrades or if the expensive IPS appliance needs to be plugged somewhere else on the network.
AxioTAP Class A4 - Gig IPS TAPs are specifically designed for in-line redundant IPS application devices to continuously monitor single critical full-duplex Fast and Gigabit Ethernet network segments. The Axio Gig IPS TAP provides a fail over path from the Primary Monitoring Device to a Secondary Device via two (2) additional 1000Base-T ports for uninterrupted Monitoring of critical network traffic. Network traffic is directed to the inline IPS sensor and the Axio Dual IPS TAP via inline heartbeat packets continually checks the health of the sensor. If the Inline IPS primary sensor fails to pass traffic, the Axio Dual IPS TAP bypasses the sensor for FAIL SAFE primary traffic flow to the secondary sensor. The Axio Dual IPS TAP continues to test the sensor. Once heartbeat is re-established, data will flow back through sensor. If both sensors are unavailable, the AxioTAP continues in bypass mode until a sensor heartbeat is reestablished.
AxioTAPT Class A5 - XLine TAPs are in their INLINE Mode specifically designed to support inline IPS application devices to continuously monitor single critical full-duplex Fast and Gigabit Ethernet network segments. Network traffic is directed to the inline IPS sensor and the XLine AxioTAP via inline heartbeat packets continually checks the health of the sensor. If the inline IPS sensor fails to pass traffic, the XLine AxioTAP bypasses the sensor for FAIL SAFE traffic flow. It continues to test the sensor and once heartbeat is re-established, data flows back through the sensor.
