Appendix C: Bypass Specifications
NSA 5130 provides LAN bypass functionality to ensure that data can still
pass through the device, even when it is powered off. This feature helps
ensure the continuous flow of data through the device in the event of a
hardware failure. For network security appliances deployed at the gate-
way, for example, it is crucial that they provide LAN bypass functionality to
ensure that hardware failure on these appliances will not bring down the
entire network.
