QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE TO TAPS
915-7513-01 7091 Rev C
What taps do: Network Taps provide permanent access to 100% of all network traffic - which is required when monitoring and securing
your network- without introducing costly bottlenecks or points of failure. Tool changes can be made without network downtime.
Why Ixia: Widest range of taps, short lead times, exceptional MTBF, global distribution, best in class worldwide Support
How to use this table: COLUMN 1 provides: connector type- LC or MTP, fiber mode- Multimode (“MM”) or Single mode (“SM”), and
fiber spec-LR, SR, etc. COLUMN 2 provides: Network speed and fiber diameter. COLUMNS 3-7 provide Part numbers for each Split
Ratio. All of this information is determined by the network link to be tapped, and must be provided by your customer.

What a bypass does: Bypass switches are in-line devices that provide fail-safe protection for in-line security and monitoring devices.
When inline tools fail, bypass switches automatically redirect network traffic so that it flows around the failed tool, instead of through

it. Bypass switches typically have heartbeats to detect security tool failure, and power fail protection to continue to operate with no
power.
Why Ixia: External bypass architecture, pre-configured heartbeats, redundant or serial active tool support, centralized management
with IFC, world class GUI interface for rapid deployment of complex topologies, highest density (VHD), and the only bypass with two
management ports (DUO).
Useful Terminology:
An External bypass switch is purpose-built hardware that keeps your network safe in the event of tool failure. Some security tools
come with Internal bypass switches, but internal switches could require you to break your network link to disconnect the tool for
service maintenance.
High availability (“HA”) refers to a network architecture design that provides continued availability of network resources, even if
individual components fail.
Failover modes: Active-Standby is defined as a primary active tool connected through the iBypass switch along with redundant
inactive tools that are activated in event of primary tool failure. Active-Active is defined as duplicate primary active tools connected
serially through the iBypass switch.
