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:

  1. Plug the cable into port 1 of the active NS3x00 Sensor.

  2. 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.
