  • Console port — Use to set up and configure the Sensor using the CLI.

  • RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps ethernet monitoring ports — Enables you to monitor four SPAN ports, two segments in-line, or a combination

  • External USB port — Use these in troubleshooting situations for system recovery purposes. You need to restart the Sensor through the USB storage device.

  • RJ-45 10/100/1000 Management port — Use for communication with the Manager server. You can assign an IP address to this port during installation.

  • Power Supply — Power supply is included with an NS3500 Sensor. The supply uses a 12V DC IN. Trellix provides 12V DC adapter with power cord. International customers must procure a country-appropriate power cable.

The NS-series Sensor does not have internal taps; you must use it with a third-party external tap to run it in tap mode.
