Connect the cable to the Management port
The Sensor communicates with the Manager using the Management port.
1. Plug a Category 5e Ethernet cable into the Management port.This port is labeled Mgmt in the rear panel of the NS-series
Sensor.
2. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device connected to your Manager server.
To isolate and protect your management trac, Trellix strongly recommends you to use a separate, dedicated
management subnet to interconnect the Sensors and the Manager.

About connecting cables to the Monitoring ports
Connect to the network devices that you want to monitor through the Sensor monitoring ports. You can deploy Sensors in the
following operating modes:
In-line mode (fail-close)
In-line mode (fail-open)
Tap mode
SPAN or hub mode

How to use peer ports
You must use two peer Monitoring ports of the Sensor to deploy it full duplex mode. On the Sensor, the numbered ports are
wired in pairs to accommodate the trac.
The following Ethernet ports are coupled and must be used together.
On NS7500 Sensors, G0 and G3 indicate the xed port slots. G1 and G2 indicate the slots for interface modules.
In the following table, it is assumed that G1 is a 6-port RJ-45 1000/100/10 Mbps interface module and G2 is the 8-Port
SFP+/SFP 10/1 Gigabit interface module. These interface modules can be interchanged.
Since monitoring ports are internally wired, when you disable one of the ports in a pair, the corresponding port is
also disabled.
