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 internally wired in pairs to accommodate the traffic.

Note

• On NS5100 and NS5200 Sensors, G0, G1, and G2 indicate fixed port slots.

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

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