Identify the ports on Generation 6 hardware and connect those cables.

Generation 6 hardware contains management ports so they can be managed from Trellix ESM. The following images identify the management and connection ports.

Caution

Do not connect cables to ports not labeled for a specific purpose.

Note

The BMC/RMM port (port 5) is used for setup and troubleshooting.

High availability connections

ERC 3600 and ERC 4800 HA mode use SFP+ ports. If you are upgrading from Gen5 hardware, you need an SPF+ to Rj45 adapter. The IPMI port is not used for HA connections.

Deploying ERCs in the same rack for direct connection:

  • Order 1 x BASECU10G-HW  (10G Base CU SFP+ Copper Module) per HA Pair (2 x ERCs). This includes a 5m direct attach cable (DAC) with SFP+ connectors for direct connection between the ERCs.  Alternatively, a suitable DAC cable can be used to directly connect the SFP+ heartbeat port of each ERC.

Deploying ERCs in different racks connected on a copper network:

  • TAA Compliant: Order 2 x BASET10G-HW-R1 (10G Base-T Copper SFP+ REV1 Module).

  • Non-TAA Compliant: Order 2 x BASET1G-HW  (1G Base-T Copper Module).

    Note

    These are single modules and cables are NOT included. You must source cables separately and you are responsible for patching the modules to a switch in the ERC rack to route heartbeat traffic.

Deploying ERCs in different racks connected on a fibre network:

  • 2 x SR or LR fiber transceivers are required. Contact Trellix Sales for more information.

    Note

    Cables are NOT included. You must source cables separately and you responsible for patching the modules into your fiber infrastructure.
