The NS9500 Sensor offers the solution of stacking multiple Sensors to achieve scalability. The individual Sensors in the stack are interconnected using an external stacking cable. The scalability is achieved by stacking multiple NS9500 appliances.
This procedure describes how to cable Sensors in a stack.
Plug the QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable into the port G0/1 of the first Sensor.
Connect the other end of the cable into port labeled G0/2 of the second Sensor.
In case of a 4 node stack, repeat steps a and b for the other Sensors in the stack.
To complete the stack, plug the QSFP28 Direct Attach Copper (DAC) cable into the port labeled G0/2 of the first Sensor.
Connect the other end of the cable into port G0/1 of the last Sensor.

For more information on cabling Sensors, refer to Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Sensor Product Guide.
On the rear panel of the NS9500 Sensor, plug a RJ-45 cable in the Management port (labeled MGMT).
Plug the other end of the cable into the network device connected to your Manager server.
