Adding a Second Bypass Adapter to the 4200 Appliance Parent topic

When deploying Multi-Bridge mode or LACP-enabled configurations on your Deep Discovery Web Inspector appliance, the appliance configures data ingress/egress using the eth4/eth5 (bypass card 1), eth6/eth7 (bypass card 2) interfaces.
Deep Discovery Web Inspector 4200 uses an external NIC adapter (Silicom: Dual Port LAN Bypass Adapter (PE210G2BPI9) that is plugged into the first Fiber NIC slot (labeled as 9 and 10 below) to support Bridge Mode and bypass mode. To deploy Multi-Bridge or LACP-enabled deployments, you must plug a second Dual Port LAN Bypass Adapter into your appliance using the second Fiber NIC slot (marked as a red box below).
Use the following procedure to insert the second bypass adapter into the 4200 appliance.
