This section explains about enabling and disabling a monitoring port from the Monitoring Ports tab.

To view or configure the settings of the monitoring ports for Trellix IPS, you access the configuration page in Devices → <Admin Domain Name> → Devices → <Device_Name> → Setup → Physical Ports. A list of ports available for the device you selected are displayed on the Monitoring Ports tab of a new page.

To disable a monitoring port:

  1. Click on the row of the monitoring port that you wish to disable.

    Note

    • To disable multiple monitoring ports, press the Ctrl key and click on multiple monitoring ports that you wish to disable.

    • Since monitoring ports are internally wired, when you disable one of the ports in a pair, the corresponding port is also disabled.

  2. Click on the Disable button. The monitoring port(s) are disabled.

To enable a monitoring port:

  1. Click on the row of the monitoring port that you wish to enable.

    Note

    To enable multiple monitoring ports, press the Ctrl key and click on multiple monitoring ports that you wish to enable.
