Before you begin

For each fail-open configuration, you will need to make sure you have all these components.

  • Determine the IP address for the fail-open switch or, if you are deploying multiple switches, a range of IP addresses
  • Determine a network mask and the default gateway for the fail-open switch
  • 4 cables to connect the fail-open switch and the Sensor
  • (Optional) A DB-9 RS232 female-female cable to access the fail-open switch CLI
  • 2 SFPs, XFPs, or QSFPs for the fail-open switch and 2 SFPs, XFPs, or QSFPs for the Sensor
  • Cables for a copper fail-open switch
    • 2 CAT5e cables (1 cross-over, 1 straight-through) for network ports
    • 2 CAT5e cables (straight-through) for monitor ports
  • Cables for a fiber fail-open switch
    • 2 LC fiber cables for network ports
    • 2 LC fiber cables for monitor ports
  • 1 control cable if you are connecting a passive fail-open switch

Broadly, these are the steps you will need to follow to set up a fail-open kit.
