Re: [Snort-inline-users] Network Bypass

[Pieter C. <pie...@co...>]

Hi Josh,

You can also use STP on the two switches (managed) on both sides of your
IPS. Just connect one port on each switch with a ethernet cable and tell
the switches to see those ports as a low (high cost, I can't remember
the detail). If the path through your IPS fails then it will switch to
the redundant path.
