  2. Connect the other end of the cable into port labeled G0/2 of the second Sensor.

  3. In case of a 4 node stack, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other Sensors in the stack.

  6. On the rear panel of each NS9500 Sensor, plug a RJ-45 cable in the Management port (labeled MGMT).

  7. Plug the other end of the cable into the network device connected to your Manager server.

    Note

    In a NS9500 Sensor standalone stack, you can connect one Sensor to another Sensor only by using a QSFP28 module.
