For Sensor failover, connect two NS7x00 Sensors using the standard LC-LC cables. These two Sensors must be running the same software version.
Purchase two 10G SFP+ and use the standard cables. Failover cables are additional hardware required to support failover communication between two NS7x00 Sensors.
Note
Trellix does not ship the transceiver modules and cables with the NS7x00 Sensors. Please purchase the same separately for failover setup.
Refer to the following table before you configure a HA pair:
Sensor Model | Port to connect the HA pair | Cable requirements for failover |
|---|---|---|
NS7300/NS7200/NS7100 | G0/1 | 2 10G SFP+ and standard LC-LC cable |
Steps:
Plug the cable appropriate for use with your SFP+ module into port G0/1 of the active NS7x00 Sensor.
Connect the other end of the cable with SFP+ into port G0/1 of the standby NS7x00 Sensor.
