Overview
The TippingPoint Threat Protection System (TPS) is a high-performance, enterprise-class solution that
protects your network by scanning, detecting, and responding to network traffic according to the filters,
action sets, and global settings maintained on each device by a client.
The TPS offers improved technology that is optimized for higher throughput, high resiliency, high availability,and network segment protection from both external and internal attacks.
You can install as many TPS security devices as you need to strategically protect your network enterprisezones. A local client on the device monitors and manages activity. Alternatively, you can manage devices byusing the Security Management System (SMS) console.

I/O module installation
Use the following topics to set up the I/O modules supported in TippingPoint security devices:•

Before you begin•

ESD requirements•

I/O module options•

Module LEDs•

I/O module replacement•

Supported transceivers and cables for TippingPoint I/O modules

Before you begin•

Review the release notes for your product for any late-breaking changes to the installation instructions.

•

Read and follow all safety information listed in the TippingPoint Hardware Safety and Compliance Guide thatshipped with your product.

•

Complete the installation of your TippingPoint security device.

ESD requirements
Damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can occur when you handle electronic components improperly.
Improper handling can also result in complete or intermittent system failures. Use proper ESD protection
whenever you handle equipment. Following these general grounding guidelines:•

Always use an ESD wrist strap when you add or remove components from the chassis.

•

Avoid touching the circuit boards or connectors on all cards and modules.

•

Avoid contact between the printed circuit boards and clothing. The wrist strap only protects components
from ESD voltages on the body. ESD voltages on clothing can still cause damage.

Place a removed component board-side-up on an antistatic surface or in a static-shielding container that is
also grounded to the same point as the device. If you plan to return the component to the factory,
immediately place it in a static-shielding container.

I/O module options
TippingPoint devices with module slots support both standard I/O modules and bypass I/O modules. Refer tothe following table for fiber and copper components.
Only optical transceiver modules (including SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+) available from TippingPoint have beenvalidated to achieve optimal performance with TippingPoint products. Other vendor devices are notsupported. Using other vendor devices could be detrimental to proper operation of the TippingPoint system.
Bypass I/O modules are zero-power high-availability (ZPHA) modules that permit network traffic and services
while bypassing the device entirely when the device loses power.
14

TPS Hardware Specification and Installation

Note
For TX Series devices, consider the following I/O module restrictions:•Fiber modules do not support auto-negotiation.

•

If you use a 1000-BaseT copper SFP in the 6-Segment GbE SFP module, auto-negotiation will be available at 1000
Mbps.

•

10 GbE SFP+ modules support both SFP and SFP+ transceivers. If you plug SFP transceivers into SFP+ ports,
only 1 Gbps speed will be available. Both 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps speeds can be configured with a multispeed SFP+
transceiver.

Ensure that you upgrade your TX-Series device to TOS
v5.2.0 or later before inserting the 40 GbE bypass module.

CAUTION!
Handle all I/O modules with care. The bypass modules contain mechanical switches that are very sensitive tohandling when not installed in the system. Network disruption can occur if handled improperly.

Note
When you insert a 40 Gbps bypass module (BIOM) into a TX-Series TPS device that has not been upgraded to TOS
v5.2.0, the module health status LED indicates that the module has experienced a fault (solid amber). To recoverfrom this state:
1.

Upgrade the device to TOS v5.2.0.

2.

After the upgrade, perform a full reboot of the device.

3.

Disable bypass on all BIOMs by selecting the normal option:•

SMS: From the Device menu, click the device and select Device Configuration -> HA (High Availability) ->Zero Power HA.

•

LSM: Select System -> High Availability -> Zero-Power HA•

CLI: high-availability zero-power (bypass|normal) (slot|all)

I/O module replacement
On a TPS TX Series device, hot swapping allows you to add, remove, or replace an I/O module without shutting
down the device. When the device is turned on, you can hot swap an I/O module without interruption to the
TPS device.
When you hot swap an I/O module, keep the following points in mind:•

Hot-swapping I/O modules during system initialization is not supported.

•

The module port configuration is always reset.

•

The module segment configuration, including link-down synchronization, Intrinsic HA, and inspection
bypass, is always preserved. If you swap the module with a different type of module, be sure to verify
that your segment configuration settings have persisted.

When the device is turned off, cold swapping allows you to add, remove, or replace an I/O module as you
would when you hot swap. However, when you cold swap an I/O module, if the replacement module type isthe same, the module port configuration is preserved.
When the device is managed by the SMS, a delay of up to 1 minute can occur before the SMS recognizes thechanged I/O module.
When you insert a bypass I/O module, the bypass I/O module always starts up in bypass mode. A bypass I/O
module remains in bypass mode until you remove it from bypass mode through the CLI, LSM, or SMS.
17

TPS Hardware Specification and Installation

Rebooting the TPS does not change the bypass mode of the bypass I/O module. For information about how to
use normal mode instead of bypass mode, refer to the SMS, LSM, or CLI documentation.
