Prerequisites:
You will require two Cat 5/Cat 5e Ethernet cables to connect your fail-open switch to the Sensor.
You will require two copper SFPs to be inserted into two corresponding blank ports on the Sensor.
Tip
For more details about your Sensor, refer to the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Sensor Product Guide for the appropriate model.
Steps:
Connect a Cat 5/Cat 5e Ethernet cable (inside) into the copper SFP in port Gy/a or xA, where y represents the module number (for NS-Series Sensors), and x and a represent port numbers.
Connect the other end of the cable to the labeled Mon 0 on the fail-open switch.
Connect a Cat 5/Cat 5e Ethernet cable (outside) to the corresponding Gy/b or xB peer port. (For example, if you used G1/1 in step 1, plug the cable into port G1/2).
Connect the other end of the cable to the labeled Mon 1 of the bypass switch.
Result: With this cable configuration, Sensor monitoring port Gy/a or xA views traffic as originating inside the network, and port Gy/b or xB views traffic as emerging outside the network. This configuration (Gy/a or xA = outside, Gy/b or xB = inside) must match the port configuration specified for this Sensor, and that the ports must be configured accordingly.
