FEATURE DESCRIPTION
10/100 Ethernet
Management
interface
Provides for an out-of-band management network connection. The
management interface is used for maintenance and configuration purposes
only and is not intended to carry service traffic.
Gigabit sensing
interfaces
Allows you to use four gigabit copper Ethernet bypass interfaces in inline or
inline with bypass mode, which allows you to deploy the device as an intrusion
prevention system. The 3D500 can monitor one network as an IPS, while the
3D1000 and 3D2000 can monitor two networks as an IPS.
If you want to take advantage of the device’s automatic bypass capability, you
must use the two interfaces on the left or the two interfaces on the right as
paired interfaces on a network segment. This allows traffic to flow even if the
device fails or loses power. You must also use the web interface to configure
the interface set as inline with bypass.
3D500, 3D1000, and 3D2000 Management Interface LEDs
LED DESCRIPTION
Left (link) Indicates whether the link is up. If the light is on, the
link is up. If the light is off, there is no link.
Right (activity) Indicates activity on the port. If the light is blinking,
there is activity. If the light is off, there is no activity.
3D500, 3D1000, and 3D2000 Bypass LEDs
STATUS DESCRIPTION
On The interface has link and is passing traffic.
Off The interface pair is in bypass mode; that is, it has failed open.
OR
The interface pair is not an inline bypass interface set.
