Protect Network Traffic from
Inline Security Tool Failure
IntellaView Bypass Network TAP Switch
Eliminate downtime.
What happens to your network if a security tool fails, loses power or needs maintenance?
Traffic stops, the network breaks down, security is compromised and your business suffers – or worse.
How do you keep a security device or monitoring tool from becoming
a single point of failure?
You turn to an external network bypass TAP to override the tool, keep traffic flowing and eliminate network downtime.
IntellaView Optical Bypass TAP
APCON provides the most advanced external bypass switch technologies and products so you can continue to use your 10G and 40G tools with 100G network traffic and reduce security risks and performance issues if an inline appliance is offline for troubleshooting, updates or sandboxing.
The IntellaView Bypass TAP blade is a fail-safe solution that bypasses traffic around security tools so networks remain operational and available.

Security tool offline - don’t wait or worry
Bypass network traffic around the tool. Provide inline behavior for six network TAPs and protect the network from interrupted traffic flow when performing security tool maintenance or a malfunction occurs.
- Protect your network from tool disruption and remove a single point of failure.
- Extend the life span of 10G tools with multiple failover functionality.
- Utilize new many-to-X TAP connections.
- Maintain high network availability.
Detect tool failover in milliseconds
Monitor the health of your tools and automatically detect and bypass a tool to quickly resolve problems.
- Don’t miss a beat with heartbeat and link stat monitoring functionality.
- Quickly switch to a failover mode if a tool failure occurs – and failback with speed when the tool comes back online.
- Gain a broader range of power and latitude to detect issues and take corrective action – rerouting traffic if necessary.
Distribute traffic with load balancing group
Reduce worries and costs that come with 10G and 25G tools as you increase to 100G traffic.
- Provide security tool redundancy and automatically redistribute traffic to other appliances in the same load balance group (LBG).
- Connect to lower bit-rate tools with rate conversion using LBG.
