FortiBridge
bypass appliances ensure mission-critical network continuity by
automatically re-routing your network traffic around inline security
infrastructure in the event of a power failure or system fault.
The FortiBridge-2002 appliance is designed for 10/100/1000 networks,
the FortiBridge-2002F is designed for 1 GbE networks (SFP or LC 850nm
fiber-based ), and theFortiBridge-2002X is designed for 10 GbE networks
(SFP+ or LC 850nm fiber-based ). All appliances provide bypass
functionality for two network segments.
- Fail-to-Wire bypass functionality maximizes network uptime by
automatically re-routing traffic in the event of a power outage or any
other type of event that would cause an inline security device to
degrade the availability of the network segment
- The 1-RU
appliance form factor allows you to add bypass functionality to any
existing inline security system, including FortiGate multi-threat
security systems
- Remote configuration and monitoring allow you
to monitor and control the bypass status of network segments remotely,
with the ability to view mode of operation, manually switch the
appliance into bypass or normal operation mode, and configure thresholds
for automatic bypass fail-to-wire
