EdgeSafe: 1G Bypass Modular Network TAP
1G | Inline Bypass | Failsafe | Ensure reliability for multiple inline tools
A Bypass TAP, also referred to as a 'bypass switch', provides the ability to manage the availability and reliability of your inline tool (IPS, WAF, firewalls) any time without network downtime or impacting business availability for maintenance or upgrades. A critical component to IT security strategies.
Garland’s modular EdgeSafeTM Bypass TAPs, are purpose-built to provide the ultimate failsafe device that eliminates single points of failure, reducing network downtime, without compromising the network.
Bypass TAP "Inline lifecycle management" allows you to sandbox new tool deployments, manage updates, install patches, perform maintenance or troubleshooting and validate out-of-band, without impacting the network.










Key Features
- Inline Bypass — sandbox, deploy, troubleshoot and replace active inline tools without taking the network link down
- Network Failsafe - Garland failsafe technology recognizes power outages and automatically closes the relay circuitry in less than eight milliseconds, reconnecting the two network devices connected to ports A and B
- Heartbeat Health Check - Configurable heartbeat packets monitor the health of the inline appliance. If the tools availability changes, the Bypass TAP will automatically ‘bypass’ the tool, or failover to a redundant solution, keeping your network up while you resolve the issue
Additional
- 1U holds up to 4 bypass TAPs; 2U holds up to 12 bypass TAPs
- Media Conversion: Fiber (SX, LX, ZX) to copper (TX) - or copper (TX) to fiber (SX, LX, ZX). Short range fiber (SX) to long range fiber (LX or ZX)
- Supports jumbo frames and passes physical errors
- Supports link failure propagation (LFP)
- 100% secure and invisible; no IP address, no MAC address; cannot be hacked
- Simple easy to use GUI management
- Dual redundant power supplies
- Made, tested and supported in the USA
