Getting started
When the bypass function found on some SNS firewalls and network modules is enabled (ready to be triggered), during critical hardware and software failures, network traffic is channeled through the SNS firewall without being analyzed.
The bypass function ensures service continuity in sensitive environments. Do note, however, that due to the way they operate, the high availability feature on SNS firewalls is incompatible with the bypass function.
This technical note provides details on:
- Information regarding bypass components, their interactions and communication modes, as well as how bypass operates,
- The SNS firewalls and network modules that are equipped with bypass,
- Information on the interfaces of bypass segments, and on inserting the network module,
- The operation of Safety mode in bypass, and its configuration on SNS firewalls,
- How to check the bypass status on SNS firewalls.
