How long does a Network Module (netmod) take to go to Hardware Bypass mode, and come out of Hardware Bypass mode?
The following table provides a guideline for hardware bypass time (relay switching time) of a network module (netmod) on a Sourcefire appliance. Please note that these are only the hardware relay switching times and do not include any software delays.
| Typical Relay Switching Time | Maximum Relay Switching Time | Example |
Multi Mode Fiber | 5 ms | 10 ms | 2x10G Short Range (SR), 4x1G Fiber, 40G Fiber Netmod etc. |
Single Mode Fiber | 4 ms | 10 ms | 2x10G Long Range (LR) Fiber Netmod |
Copper | 1.2 ms | 3 ms | 4x1G Copper Netmod |
