Knowledge Base

LAN Bypass is a fault-tolerance feature that protects your essential business communications in the event of power outage. WAN1 and LAN1 ports will be bridged together when the power runs out. When used with Drop-in Mode, such failure would be completely transparent to the network. Therefore, your network connectivity is fully protected.

Availability
The Bypass function is a built-in feature available on the following models:

• Peplink Balance 390 (starting from December 2009 onwards)
• Peplink Balance 580
• Peplink Balance 1350

NOTE: LAN Bypass is only available for internet traffic from WAN1 to LAN (for Peplink Balance 390 and 1350) or from WAN5 to LAN (for Peplink Balance 580). Please connect your DHCP WAN connection to other WAN ports.
