RJ-45 Auxiliary port, which you might use to dial in remotely to set up and congure the Sensor.
QSFP+ 40 Gigabit Ethernet Monitoring ports, which enable you to monitor four SPAN ports, two segments in-line, or a
combination.
SFP/SFP+ 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet Monitoring ports, which enable you to monitor eight SPAN ports, four segments in-line,
or a combination.
RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Monitoring ports, which enable you to monitor eight SPAN ports, four segments
in-line, or a combination.
These Monitoring interfaces of the NS-series Sensor work in stealth mode, meaning they have no IP address
and are not visible on the monitored segment.
The gigabit ports of the Sensor running in in-line mode fail-close, meaning that if the Sensor fails, it will
interrupt/block data ow. Fail-open functionality requires either the Layer 2 Passthru feature, described in
detail in the IPS Administration section of Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide or the hardware
Gigabit Fail-Open Bypass kit for gigabit ports.
RJ-45 100/1000/10000 Response port, which enables you to inject response packets back through a switch or router
when you're operating in SPAN or tap mode.
External USB ports. You use this in troubleshooting situations for system recovery purposes. You need to restart the
Sensor through the USB storage device.
Primary Power Supply-A (included). Power supply A is included with an NS-series Sensor. The supply uses a standard IEC
port (IEC320-C13). Trellix provides a standard, 2m NEMA 5-15P (US) power cable (3 wire). International customers must
procure a country-appropriate power cable.
Power Supply-B (included). Power supply B is a hot-swappable, redundant power supply. This power supply also uses a
standard IEC320-C13 port, and you can use the Trellix-provided cable or acquire one that meets your specic needs.
The NS-series Sensor does not have internal taps; you must use it with a third-party external tap to run it in tapped mode.

Sensor LEDs
The front and rear panel LEDs provide status information for the health of the Sensor and the activity on its ports. The following
table describes the NS-series LEDs.
