Connect the cable for Sensor failover

For Sensor failover, connect two NS5x00 Sensors using the appropriate cables. These two Sensors must be running the same

software version.

Purchase four 1G SFPs and use the appropriate ber or copper cable. Failover cables are additional hardware required to

support failover communication between two NS5x00 Sensors.

Trellix does not ship the transceiver modules and cables with the NS5x00 Sensors. Please purchase the same separately for

failover setup.

Refer to the following table before you congure a HA pair:

Cable requirements for

failover

NS5100/NS5200 G1/1, G1/2 4 1G SFP and appropriate ber or

copper cable

Steps:

1. Plug the cables appropriate for use with your SFP modules into both ports, G1/1 and G1/2 of the active NS5x00 Sensor.

2. Connect the other end of the respective cables with SFP modules into both ports, G1/1 and G1/2 of the standby NS5x00

Sensor. Both G1/1 and G1/2 connections are needed for failover to work properly.

Turning the Sensor on and o

Do not attempt to turn on the Sensor until you have installed the Sensor in a rack and made all the necessary network

connections.

Steps:

1. Connect the power cable to the Sensor power inlet.

2. Connect the power cable to a power source.
