Mounting iBypass HDiBypass HD is designed for rack mounting in a 19-inch equipment rack and occupies one rack unit.

To mount the iBypass HD device:1. Remove the slide rails from the box.

2. Mount the slide rails to the front and rear rack posts using the provided screws and washers.

3. Slide the iBypass HD into the slide rails and use the supplied screws to secure the iBypass HD in place.

4. Make sure that the rack is properly grounded.

Connecting Power to iBypass HD Use the AC power cords that came with the unit to supply power. (For DC models, you must supply your own power cables.) The unit can operate from one or both power supplies. For maximum reliability, use both power supplies and make sure that you connect them to separate, independent power sources.

Installing the DBMsIf the Dual Bypass Modules (DBMs) are not already installed when you receive the unit, install them by sliding them carefully into the DBM slots in the front panel.

To install DBMs:1. Remove the cover plate (if present) from the slot by

unscrewing the two thumbscrews.

2. Slide the DBM into the slot with the DBM circuit boards riding in the rails.

Heartbeat packet through the IPS in order to monitor its healthandverifythatitcanpasstraffic.IftheIPSbecomespowered off, disconnected, or otherwise incapable of passingtraffic,theiBypassHDautomaticallybypassestheIPSandsendstrafficdirectlythroughthenetworklink until the IPS is restored to operation.

The iBypass HD can be tuned to your particular system environment by changing the contents of the Heartbeat packet, the Heartbeat interval, and number of retries, and using other features such as Link Fault Detect and Bypass Detect. A pair of bypass switches in a DBM can also be coupled in a High Availability mode providing link and tool redundancy. See the iBypass HD User Guide for details about all of these features.

Using the iBypass HD CLIAllconfigurationoptions,status,andstatisticsare accessible from the Command Line Interface (CLI). To usetheCLIoveraremoteSSHconnection,firstsetthesystem’s IP address using the local RS232 interface.

To access the Command Line Interface:1. Connect a PC with terminal emulation software to

iBypass HD using the supplied Cisco DB9 to RJ45 console cable.

2. Launch terminal emulation software such as HyperTerminal with the following settings: 115200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

3. At the login prompt, type admin; at the password prompt, type netoptics.

4. Change the password for the admin account by typing user mod name=admin priv=1 pw=<new-pw>.

5. Set the iBypass HD IP address by typing sysip set ipaddr=<ip_address> mask=<netmask> gw=<gateway>; then type sysip commit.

6. For more information on the CLI, type Help to display command information. The tab key or space bar can be used to autocomplete partially typed commands. Entering ? following a command (and a space) displays the arguments for that command. The up- and down-arrow keys access the CLI command history buffer.

The CLI can now be accessed remotely by SSH over the iBypass HD Management port. Connect the Management port (the top RJ45 on the rear panel) with a CAT5 cable to a switch or hub to access the CLI over the network. The default SSH username is bypass, the password is netoptics and the port is 22. Use the passwd command to change the SSH password.

Connecting to the NetworkNote: SFP modules may be shipped separately. An appropriate cable is shipped with each SFP module.

To connect iBypass HD to your network:1. Remove the temporary plug from the two SFP slots

labeled A and B on the segment you want to connect. In each slot, insert an SFP module until it clicks into place.

2. Plug the cables supplied with the SFP modules to the SFP ports.

3. Connect the other ends of the cables to the two sides of the network link you are tapping. This connection through the iBypass HD is fully passive – if the unit loses power, trafficcontinuestoflowinthelink.Networklinkyouaretapping.

Connecting to the In-Line Monitoring ToolTo connect iBypass HD to an IPS:1. Remove the temporary plug from the two SFP slots

labeled 1 and 2 on the segment you want to connect. In each slot, insert an SFP module until it clicks into place.

2. Plug the cables supplied with the SFP modules to the SFP ports.

3. Connect the other ends of the cables to the network ports on the IPS or other in-line monitoring tool.

Checking the InstallationAfter you have connected iBypass HD, verify that it is functioning correctly.• Check that the power LEDs are illuminated.• Check the link LEDs for each of the connected ports to verifythatthelinksareconnectedandtrafficispresent.

Customizing the ConfigurationThe iBypass HD is designed for plug-and-play deployment – just plug in the network and monitor cables and supply power, and your IPS operates as if it were directly in-line in the network link. The iBypass HD periodically sends a
