How to use peer ports

Prev Next

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 NS7500 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 a 6-port RJ-45 1000/100/10 Mbps interface module and G2 is the 8-Port SFP+/SFP 10/1 Gigabit 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.
