Product Description
The Dell PE2G4BPI35LA-SD-LP is a specialized network adapter designed for inline network devices and security appliances where continuous network availability is paramount. It features four Gigabit Ethernet copper ports, providing ample connectivity for network segmentation or aggregation. The core technology of this adapter lies in its integrated bypass functionality, which ensures that network traffic can continue to flow unimpeded even if the adapter itself fails or the host system loses power. This bypass capability is critical for network security solutions like firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDPS), and content filters. In the event of a failure, the adapter can be configured to either 'fail-open' (allowing traffic to pass through) or 'fail-closed' (blocking traffic), depending on the security policy requirements. This prevents the network appliance from becoming a single point of failure and causing network outages. Utilizing a PCI Express x4 interface, the adapter offers sufficient bandwidth to handle the throughput demands of multiple Gigabit Ethernet connections. The inclusion of a low-profile bracket makes it suitable for installation in various server and appliance form factors. The PE2G4BPI35LA-SD-LP is an essential component for building resilient and highly available network infrastructures that require inline traffic inspection or manipulation.
