For Sensor failover, connect two NS3x00 Sensors using the appropriate ethernet cables. These two Sensors must be running the same software version.
Refer to the following table before you configure a HA pair:
Sensor Model | Port to connect the HA pair | Cable requirements for failover |
|---|---|---|
NS3100/NS3200 | 1 | Ethernet copper cable (minimum Category 5e) |
Steps:
Plug the cable into port 1 of the active NS3x00 Sensor.
Connect the other end of the cable into port 1 of the standby NS3x00 Sensor. Only port 1 is required for failover to function properly.
