c From the Manager, click Devices | <Device_Name> | Setup | Physical Ports to open the Physical Ports page.

d A policy named Default Inline IPS is active upon Sensor addition. To view this policy, select Intrusion
Prevention | Policy | IPS Policies. Select Default Inline IPS from the list and click View / Edit.
The Default Inline IPS policy contains attacks already congured with a "blocking" Sensor
response action. If any attack in the policy is triggered, the Sensor automatically blocks the
attack. To tune this or any other McAfee-provided policies, you can clone the policy and then
customize it as described in the McAfee Network Security Platform IPS Administration Guide.

Select the port on the Sensor that you cabled to view port settings. Make sure that your port settings
match the cabling, for example, if port 1 is cabled for the in-line mode, then the Operating Mode in the port
setting must be in-line mode.
For more information on port settings, see Conguring the monitoring and response ports of a
Sensor, McAfee Network Security Platform IPS Administration Guide.
