module failures.
I/O modules
Describes the standard and bypass I/O modules.
The TippingPointNX-Platform IPS supports both standard I/O modules and bypass I/O modules (see the
following tables) for fiber and copper components.
Note: Only optical transceiver modules (including SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+) available from TippingPoint
have been validated to achieve optimal performance with TippingPoint products. Other vendor
devices are not supported. Using other vendor devices could be detrimental to proper operation of
the TippingPoint system.
Bypass I/O modules are zero-power high-availability (ZPHA) modules that permit network traffic and
services while bypassing the IPS entirely when the IPS loses power. All four standard I/O modules and all
five bypass I/O modules are hot-swappable on devices running TOS v3.6.0 or higher.
