Introduction

The NS-series Sensor uses three types of small form-factor pluggable modules as shown in the following table.

To ensure compatibility, Trellix supports only those SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 modules purchased through Trellix or from a Trellix-approved vendor.

The SFP, SFP+ and QSFP+ modules use a bail clasp for securing the module in place in the Sensor. Your module might be slightly different. For ease of installation, insert the module in the Sensor while it is turned off and before placing it on a rack. For more information, refer to NS-series Interface Modules section in this guide and Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Sensor Product Guide.
