How to use peer ports

You must use two peer Monitoring ports of the Sensor to deploy it full duplex mode. On the Sensor, the numbered ports are wired in pairs to accommodate the traffic.

The following Ethernet ports are coupled and must be used together.

Note

• On NS9100, NS9200 and NS9300P Sensors, G0 and G3 indicate the fixed port slots. G1 and G2 indicate the slots for interface modules.

• On NS9300S Sensors, G4 and G7 indicate the fixed port slots. G5 and G6 indicate the slots for interface modules.

• In the following table, it is assumed that G1 is the 2-port QSFP+ 40G interface module, G2 is the 8-Port SFP+/SFP 1/10G interface module, G5 is the 4-port QSFP+ 40G interface module and G6 is the 6-port RJ-45 1 Gbps/100 Mbps/10 Mbps interface module. These interface modules can be interchanged.

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