Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bypass card and why is it important for TLS inspection?
A bypass card is a hardware component that allows network traffic to flow around a security appliance. For TLS inspection, it's crucial because it ensures that even if the security appliance is offline for maintenance or fails, network traffic continues to pass through, preventing service interruptions while still enabling inspection when the device is active.
How does this bypass card prevent network downtime?
When installed in a compatible security appliance, the bypass card automatically detects if the appliance is not functioning correctly or is taken offline. In such cases, it physically reroutes network traffic to bypass the appliance, maintaining network connectivity and preventing an outage.
Is this bypass card compatible with any security appliance?
No, this specific bypass card is designed for compatibility with Trend Micro DDI-520/1200 appliances. It is essential to verify compatibility before purchase to ensure proper integration and functionality.
