Overview

8-Port 10/100/1000Base-T Network Module with Hardware

Bypass

The Secure Firewall 3100 chassis has one network module slot named NM-2. Network modules are optional,

removable I/O modules that provide either additional ports or different interface types. The network module

plugs into the chassis on the front panel. See

slot on the chassis.

FPR3K-XNM-8X1GF is an 8-port 10/100/1000Base-T hardware bypass network module. The eight ports are

numbered from top to bottom, left to right. Ports 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, and 7 and 8 are paired for hardware

bypass mode. In hardware bypass mode, data is not processed by the Secure Firewall 3100 but is routed to

the paired port.

Hardware bypass (also known as fail-to-wire) is a physical layer (Layer 1) bypass that allows paired interfaces

to go into bypass mode so that the hardware forwards packets between these port pairs without software

intervention. Hardware bypass provides network connectivity when there are software or hardware failures.

Hardware bypass is useful on ports where the secure firewall is only monitoring or logging traffic. The

hardware bypass network modules have a switch that is capable of connecting the two ports when needed.

Note

Hardware bypass is supported only on a fixed set of ports. You can pair Port 1 with Port 2, Port 3 with Port

4, but you cannot pair Port 1 with Port 4 for example.

Note

Hardware bypass is only supported with threat defense, although you can use these modules in nonbypass

mode in threat defense or ASA.

When the appliance switches from normal operation to hardware bypass or from hardware bypass back to

normal operation, traffic may be interrupted for several seconds. A number of factors can affect the length of

the interruption; for example, behavior of the link partner such as how it handles link faults and debounce

timing; spanning tree protocol convergence; dynamic routing protocol convergence; and so on. During this

time, you may experience dropped connections.

If you have an inline interface set with a mix of hardware bypass and nonhardware bypass interfaces, you

cannot enable hardware bypass on this inline interface set. You can only enable hardware bypass on an inline

interface set if all the pairs in the inline set are valid hardware bypass pairs.

The 8-port 10/100/1000Base-T network module is supported beginning with FTD 7.2.3 and ASA 9.18.2.
