About the Symantec Network Security In-line

Bypass unit

The In-line Bypass unit is available in two models, the 2 In-line Bypass unit and

the 4 In-line Bypass unit. This user guide contains instructions for both.

The bypass unit provides fail-open capability for in-line installations of the

Symantec Network Security 7100 Series appliance. Fail-open is a configuration

that allows network traffic to continue even if the 7100 Series has a hardware or

software failure that affects one or more of its in-line interface pairs. While

connected to the network and the 7100 Series appliance, the bypass unit

monitors the appliance. If it senses an appliance failure, the bypass unit

provides direct network connectivity.

Both bypass unit models can connect to either 10/100 Base-T (Fast Ethernet) or

10/100/1000 Base-T (gigabit copper) ports. Neither model provides fail-open for

the gigabit fiber interfaces on the 7161 appliance.

Both bypass unit models operate at wire speeds and have no impact on

performance.

To begin using the bypass unit after physically installing it, use the Network

Security console to configure the corresponding in-line pairs.

For more information about using the In-line Bypass unit with your 7100 Series

appliance, see the Symantec Network Security 7100 Series Implementation Guide.

In-line Bypass unit features

Table 1-1 summarizes the features of the two bypass unit models.

The 2 In-line Bypass unit

The 2 In-line Bypass unit has two port groups. It can provide fail-open capability

for up to two in-line connections.

Note: The 2 In-line Bypass unit is supported only for use with the Symantec

Network Security 7120 appliance.

Figure 1-1 shows the rear panel of the 2 In-line Bypass unit.

Figure 1-1 2 In-line Bypass unit

The 4 In-line Bypass unit

The 4 In-line Bypass unit has four port groups. It can provide fail-open

capability for up to four in-line connections.

USB connection

The Symantec Network Security 7100 Series appliance communicates with the

In-line Bypass unit via the USB connection. The appliance sends commands to

the bypass unit and also sends a periodic keep-alive signal through the USB

connection.

Port groups

The 2 In-line Bypass unit contains two groups of four ports each, referred to as

port groups. The ports in the port group connect to the two network segments

and the two interfaces of the appliance in-line pair. The 4 In-line Bypass unit

contains four port groups.

Each port group includes:

Net A, App A, App B, Net B

Net A App A App B Net B

In-line Bypass unit features

Each of the four ports has specific cabling requirements. The Net A and App A

ports in the port group, along with the even-numbered port of the 7100 Series

in-line pair, handle traffic on one side of the network connection. The Net B and

App B ports in the port group and the odd-numbered port of the appliance

in-line pair handle traffic on the other side of the network connection.

The Net A port of each port group on the bypass unit is implemented as

10/100/1000Base-TX. It is a Medium Dependent Interface, crossed (MDIX). You

may need a crossover cable to connect Net A to some devices. The Net B port of

each port group is implemented as 10/100/1000Base-T (MDI - not crossed).

Consult the documentation for your network devices to determine whether they

require crossover connections.

Figure 1-4 depicts a port group connected to an in-line pair and two network devices.

■ Net A Connects via a network device to one side of the network. Traffic

entering the bypass unit through Net A passes through App A to

one port of the 7100 Series in-line pair.

■ App A Connects to the 7100 Series port that handles traffic on the side of

the network connected to Net A.

■ App B Connects to the 7100 Series port that handles traffic on the side of

the network connected to Net B.

■ Net B Connects via a network device to the other side of the network.

Traffic entering the bypass unit through Net B passes through App

B to one port of the 7100 Series in-line pair.

Figure 1-4 Connected port group

Matching port groups to in-line pairs

Each port group has a designated in-line pair on the 7100 Series.

Warning: Connect each port group to the specified in-line pair. Connecting a port

group to a different in-line pair is not supported.

Note: Do not connect the bypass unit to 7100 Series interfaces that are

configured in passive mode, or are part of an interface group.

Table 1-2 defines the cabling matrix for both In-line Bypass unit models and the

two supported 7100 Series appliance models.

Online and bypass modes

The bypass unit can operate in two modes:

■ Online mode: Network traffic passes from the bypass unit to the 7100 Series

for analysis, then goes back to the bypass unit and out through the other

network interface.

■ Bypass mode: Network traffic entering the bypass unit passes directly from

one side of the network to the other, without going through the 7100 Series.

After connecting the bypass unit, each time you reboot the 7100 Series

appliance, all port groups on the bypass unit initially operate in bypass mode.

When a sensor process starts on an in-line pair connected to the bypass unit, the

corresponding port group changes to online mode.

See the Symantec Network Security 7100 Series Implementation Guide for

information about starting a sensor on an in-line pair.

While the keep-alive signal is active on the USB port, the bypass unit operates in

online mode, meaning that all network traffic passes through the 7100 Series

appliance. If the keep-alive signal stops, the bypass unit changes to bypass

mode, in which the two sides of the network are directly connected and the 7100

Series is bypassed.

Auto-negotiation on bypass unit interfaces

The interface link parameters, including speed and duplex mode, should be

auto-negotiated between Net A and App A, and Net B and App B. You should not

force the link speed or duplex mode to a specific setting on network devices that

connect to Net A or Net B. Forcing the link parameters to a certain value may

result in link speed or duplex mismatches which could cause degraded

performance or possible loss of connectivity.

After connecting the bypass unit to a 7100 Series appliance, you should verify

the link speed and duplex parameters for all interfaces in the port group. To

verify the link parameters for Net A and Net B, log on to the connected network

devices and display the status for the connected interfaces. Ensure that the

connected interfaces are configured for auto-negotiation of link parameters.

To verify the link parameters for App A and App B, use the Network Security

console. After starting a sensor on the corresponding in-line pair, you can view

the link parameters by clicking each interface object in the in-line pair.

The parameter values for all interfaces in a port group should be the same when

the bypass unit is in online mode. For a 2 In-line Bypass unit connected to a

7120, all port group interfaces should auto-negotiate to 100 Mbps in online

mode. However, in bypass mode, when Net A and Net B on a 2 In-line Bypass unit

are connected to gigabit interfaces on both network devices, auto-negotiation

allows the bypass unit to run at up to 1000 Mbps.

Front panel LEDs on the bypass unit

Both In-line Bypass unit models share a common front panel that contains a

number of status LEDs.

Figure 1-5 shows the bypass unit front panel LED configuration.

Rear panel LEDs on the bypass unit

The rear panel status LEDs are located in the top left and top right corners of

each port in the port groups. On the bypass unit, the LEDs are labeled only for

the top ports, but the labels apply to the ports in the lower port group as well.

The bypass unit rack mounting hardware includes two L-brackets. The In-line

Bypass unit includes four screws that are threaded into the cover sides. You can

use these screws to attach the L-brackets to the bypass unit.

To mount using L-brackets onto a two-post rack

1 Remove the four screws from the bypass unit cover. Position each L-bracket

against the bypass unit side panel toward the rear, as shown. Attach the

brackets securely using the same screws.

2 Lift the bypass unit into place so that the L-brackets press against the rack

posts.

the posts on both sides of the bypass unit, as shown in the following

diagram.
