  • 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 eight SPAN ports, four 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.

  • RJ-45 10/100/1000 Response port — When you operate this port in SPAN or tap mode, it enables you to inject response packets back through a switch or a router.

  • Power Supply — Power supply is included with an NS3x00 Sensor. The supply uses a standard IEC port (IEC320-C13). Trellix provides a standard, 2 m NEMA 5-15P (US) power cable (3 wire). 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 tapped mode.
