After you have secured the Active Fail-Open module in its rack, use QSFP28 based fiber connecting cables to connect the module with the Sensor. The underlying principle in connecting these cables is to connect the Sensor and the module so that the traffic gets routed through the Active Fail-Open module if there is a Sensor outage.
Regardless of the Sensor and Active Fail-Open module type, the connections remain the same.

Steps:
Connect the port on your network device (Switch 1) to Net0 (active) of the Active Fail-Open module.
Insert a QSFP28 into each of the slots of the unused 100G port pairs on your Sensor. We use port pair G0/1-G0/2 for this illustration.
Connect the port Mon0 (active) on the Active Fail-Open module to port G0/1 on the Sensor.
Connect the port Mon1 (active) on the Active Fail-Open module to port G0/2 on the Sensor.
Connect the port Net1 (active) on the Active Fail-Open module to the port on the other network device (Switch 2).
