Trellix NS Series - Turning the Sensor on and off

•
•
Sensor outage breaks the link connecting the devices on either side of the Sensor for a brief moment and requires the
renegotiation of the network link between the two peer devices connected to the Sensor. Depending on the network
equipment, this disruption introduced by the renegotiation of the link layer between the two peer devices might range from a
couple of seconds to more than a minute with certain vendors' devices.
A very brief link disruption might also occur while the links between the Sensor and each of the peer devices are renegotiated
to place the Sensor back in in-line mode. This outage, again, varies depending on the device, and can range from a few
seconds to more than a minute.
The performance of the switchover from in-line to bypass and vice versa varies depending on the vendor.
You can nd the installation and troubleshooting instructions for the kit in the guide that accompanies the kit. For example, for

connections.
Steps:
1.
Connect the power cable to the Sensor power supply.
2.
Connect the power cable to a power source.
If you are installing a redundant power supply, you should install it as described in Install a new power supply section. For
true redundant operation with the optional redundant power supply,Trellix recommends that you plug each supply into
a dierent power circuit.
The Sensor has no power switch. The Sensor turns on as soon as one of its power cables is connected to a power
source.Trellix recommends that you use the shutdownCLI command to halt the Sensor before turning it o. For more
