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,

Fail-Open Bypass Kit Guide.

Connect the cable for Sensor failover
For Sensor failover, connect two NS7x50 Sensors using the standard LC-LC cables. These two Sensors must be running the same
software version.
Purchase two 10G SFP+ and use the standard cable. Failover cables are additional hardware required to support failover
communication between two NS7x50 Sensors.
Trellix does not ship the transceiver modules and cables with the NS7x50 Sensors. Please purchase the same separately for
failover setup.
Refer to the following table before you congure a HA pair:
