A Bypass Pair is a pair of ports where
one port is connected to a LAN network while the second port is
connected to a WAN network. Bypass pairs can be configured only
for branch ION devices.
Bypass pairs can be of the following types:
- Hardware Bypass Pair—A pair of ports or ethernet interfaces
that can be associated with each other with underlying support for
a hardware bypass relay. Hardware Bypass Pairs have strict pairing
rules where only certain ports can be paired together.
- Virtual Bypass Pair—A pair of ports or ethernet interfaces that
can be associated with each other without any hardware capabilities.
A Virtual Interface (VI) cannot be created on a virtual bypass pair.
Both types of bypass pairs are not allowed on controller interfaces
or interfaces that are part of another logical interface. You can break
a bypass pair into two individual ports and use the individual ports
for configuring sub-interfaces.
Bypass pairs can be configured as per the following:
