Where to go next
After you attach network connections, network traffic passes through the device using the default filter
configuration. The default configuration automatically recognizes and blocks traffic that is known to be
malicious at all times, under all conditions, in all network environments.
On a TX Series device, any bypass I/O modules remain in bypass mode until you remove them from
bypass mode through the CLI, LSM, or SMS. Rebooting the TPS does not change the bypass mode of
the bypass I/O module. For information about how to disable bypass mode, see your product
documentation on the TMC.

command. When
you use the CLI, configure the terminal emulation package to transmit a Ctrl-H character when
the Backspace key is pressed.
