Redundant NetEnforcer Units
The NetEnforcer supports redundant configurations using two or more systems. This failover system works in conjunction with the hardware bypass solution. If two NetEnforcer units are attached in parallel, one will become the master system. If there is any failure, the backup system will automatically start passing traffic.

workarounds / alternative solutions


Explanation:
"Workaround" is standard IT language (and "Umgehungslösungen" is probably a translation of it).

Might be too colloquial for your text though.
