Frank, the network has latency issues again. It’s not my IPS slowing us down.

Just look into it, we can’t afford any downtime!

Hey Chris, Engineering is saying my IPS is slowing down the network but I don’t see anything.

Hold on Frank, Let’s find out, let me log into the management console on the bypass tap and move it from active in-line to passive, out-of-band.

So by bypassing the IPS, the data will still flow to your network, while sending a copy to your IPS and let you know if that was the issue or not.

Well, Chris and I just took the IPS off-line, so….

How’s the network now Rob?

Back up to normal! Great job, what was the issue?

At least we didn’t have any network down time!
