Network critical do a range of inline taps in their v-line range. you have two ips units connected to this unit and in normal working your live traffic will pass through the primary unit. If the primary dies then the traffic is re-routed via the secondary. If this fails then the unit will go into bypass mode. The unit also goes to bypass on power or any other problems with the tap.
We use these units with Packetshapers and they work very well, during testing we experienced a maximum of 2 secs downtime during failure scenarios. website is http://www.networkcritical.com Cheers, Craig -----Original Message----- From: Chris Serafin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 02 February 2006 21:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [email protected] Subject: RE: IPS Reliability/Availability I know from the short time I worked for a Juniper reseller, the Juniper IPS has a separate box [very small] that does like a HA link to the IPS, so if the IPS fails, the traffic routed straight throught the network with no IPS Chris Serafin IT Security / VoIP Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 10:27 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IPS Reliability/Availability I am working on a big IPS project and I am very concerned about installing an inline device in a core enterprise network, where these devices have the potential to create big time network outages. Can you, please, share your possible bad experiences about the reliability of the following inline IPS products: ISS TippingPoint Juniper IPS Sourcefire McAfee IntruShield Have you had any issues with the availability of these devices, such as fail close crashes or do you have any experience with bypass switches that would mitigate the availability issue?
