NetScope has a failover/bypass network card that acts as a failsafe device in the case of software or hardware failure. For example: if there is a power failure on NetScope, the network device switches into bypass mode and essentially closes the circuit to let all traffic run seamlessly through the device. If there is a software error on NetScope due to insufficient RAM for hard drive space, or any other type of system failure, the network device will switch into bypass mode and pass all traffic seamlessly through the device.
NetScope is designed from the ground up for network integrity and these failsafe mechanisms guarantee your network remains robust.
