The Sensor communicates with the Manager using the Management port.

Plug a Category 5e Ethernet cable into the Management port.
This port is labeled MGMT in the rear panel of the NS5x00 Sensor.
Plug the other end of the cable into the network device connected to your Manager server.
Note
To isolate and protect your management traffic, Trellix strongly recommends you to use a separate, dedicated management subnet to interconnect the Sensors and the Manager.
