Connecting the Fail-Open Bypass Switch involves the following steps:
Ear mount the Fail-Open Bypass Switch.
Insert the QSFP+ transceiver modules into the 40 G Appliance ports (A1 and A2).
Plug an RJ45 ethernet cable into the management port on the front panel of the Switch.
Plug the other end of the cable into the network device connected to the management server.
Plug a serial cable into the console port on the front panel of the Switch.
Connect the other end of the Console port cable directly to a COM port of the PC or terminal server you will be using to configure the Switch.
Plug an inside network cable connector into the Network port labeled N1 on the Bypass Switch.
Plug the other end of this cable into the corresponding network device.
Plug an outside network cable into the Network port labeled N2 on the Bypass Switch.
Plug the other end of this cable into the corresponding network device.
Plug an LC fiber cable (inside) into the monitoring port of the Sensor.
Plug the other end of the cable into the appliance port labeled A1 on the Bypass Switch.
Plug an LC fiber cable (outside) into the corresponding peer port.
(For example, if you used 1 in step 1, plug the cable into port 2)
Plug the other end of the cable into the appliance port labeled A2 on the Bypass Switch.
Note
With this cable configuration, Sensor monitoring port 1 views traffic as originating inside the network, and port 2 views traffic as originating outside the network. Note that this configuration (1 = outside, 2 = inside) must match the port configuration specified for this Sensor and that the ports must be enabled. For more information, on Port configuration accomplished via the Manager, see the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide.
