In This Chapter 1 - INSTALLING THE BYPASS NICS CHAPTER 1 Installing the Bypass NICs This chapter describes how to install the HP EFS N4c WAN Accelerator 4-port NIC, HP EFS N2c WAN Accelerator 2-port NIC, and HP EFS N2f WAN Accelerator 2-port NIC in the HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
The HP EFS WAN Accelerator is equipped with a bypass card to prevent a single point of failure. If there is a serious problem with the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, it goes into bypass mode and the traffic is passed through unoptimized. You can install multipleport bypass cards to connect to multiple routers and switches. The HP EFS N4c WAN Accelerator 4-port NIC, HP EFS N2c WAN Accelerator 2-port NIC, and HP EFS N2f WAN Accelerator 2-port NIC are supported by HP EFS WAN Accelerator, version 2.1.
