The ports can be used as monitoring interfaces as well as hardware bypass process.

Here is the document for your reference:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/security/ips/6.1/installation/guide/hw_installing_4260.html#wp18087

If you go further down the document, it also explains the configuration restriction for the hardware bypass.

Hope this helps.
