Network Traffic Interruption
DEPLOYMENT NETWORK TRAFFIC INTERRUPTED?
Inline with
configurable bypass
(Failopen option
enabled for inline
sets)
Network traffic is interrupted at two points during the update:
• At the beginning of the update process, traffic is briefly interrupted while
link goes down and up (flaps) and the network card switches into hardware
bypass. Traffic is not inspected during hardware bypass.
• After the update finishes, traffic is again briefly interrupted while link flaps
and the network card switches out of bypass. After the endpoints reconnect
and reestablish link with the sensor interfaces, traffic is inspected again.
IMPORTANT! The configurable bypass option is not supported on virtual
devices, non-bypass NetMods on 8000 Series devices, or SFP transceivers on
71xx Family devices.
Inline Network traffic is blocked throughout the update.
Passive Network traffic is not interrupted, but also is not inspected during the update.
