You can use these connections to passively monitor up to eight separate network segments. You can also
use paired interfaces in inline or inline with bypass mode to deploy the device as an intrusion prevention
system on up to four networks.
If you want to take advantage of the device's automatic bypass capability, you must connect either the
two interfaces on the left or the two interfaces on the right to a network segment. Automatic bypass
capability allows traffic to flow even if the device fails or loses power. After you cable the interfaces,
you use the web interface to configure a pair of interfaces as an inline set and enable bypass mode on
the inline set.

The eight-port 1000BASE-SX fiber configurable bypass configuration uses LC-type (Local Connector)
optical transceivers.

For best performance, use the interface sets consecutively. If you skip any interfaces, you may
