Connect the cable to the Response port
When operating in tap or SPAN mode, the Sensor uses its Response port to respond to attacks. When deployed in tap mode, the
Sensor does not inject response packets through the tap but uses the Response port.
Steps:
1. Plug a Cat-5e Ethernet cable into the Response port.This port is labeled R1 on the Sensor rear panel.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the network device, such as a hub, switch, or a router, through which you want to
respond to attacks.

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.
