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 NS9500 Sensors, G0 and G3 indicate the fixed port slots. G1 and G2 indicate the slots for interface modules.
In the following table, it is assumed that G1 is the 2-port QSFP28 1000G 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, when you disable one of the ports in a pair, the corresponding port is also disabled.
Note
You cannot disable auto-negotiation in G3 slots.
