Configuration of device monitoring and response ports

Prev Next

The Monitoring Ports action enables you to view/edit the parameters of the monitoring and response ports on a specific device. Monitoring port configuration allows you to change device deployment modes, select port speeds or indicate whether you are using Trellix certified modules, enable/disable ports, and choose the path for device responses. Response port configuration allows you to choose the receiving device and change the link speed. Port Settings are configured using the virtual device action buttons available within every device settings page in the Manager UI.

The following table contains the default values for device ports in different operating modes. You must ensure that the switch or router ports connected to the device ports match these settings for the configurations as shown below:
