13 In-line Bypass unit features Each of the four ports has specific cabling requirements. The Net A and App A ports in the port group, along with the even-numbered port of the 7100 Series in-line pair, handle traffic on one side of the network connection. The Net B and App B ports in the port group and the odd-numbered port of the appliance in-line pair handle traffic on the other side of the network connection. ■ Net A Connects via a network device to one side of the network. Traffic entering the bypass unit through Net A passes through App A to one port of the 7100 Series in-line pair. ■ App A Connects to the 7100 Series port that handles traffic on the side of the network connected to Net A. ■ App B Connects to the 7100 Series port that handles traffic on the side of the network connected to Net B. ■ Net B Connects via a network device to the other side of the network. Traffic entering the bypass unit through Net B passes through App B to one port of the 7100 Series in-line pair. The Net A port of each port group on the bypass unit is implemented as 10/100/1000Base-TX. It is a Medium Dependent Interface, crossed (MDIX). You may need a crossover cable to connect Net A to some devices. The Net B port of each port group is implemented as 10/100/1000Base-T (MDI - not crossed). Consult the documentation for your network devices to determine whether they require crossover connections. Figure 1-4 depicts a port group connected to an in-line pair and two network devices.
