The Manager server platform hosts the Manager software and the Manager database. It is a server running on an operating system as specified in the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Installation Guide. You can remotely access the Manager user interface from a client machine using a browser. Refer to the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Installation Guide to know the supported browsers and the supported operating systems for the clients.
Sensors use a built-in 10/100 Management port to communicate with the Manager server. You can connect a segment from a Sensor Management port directly to the Manager server; however, this means you can only receive information from one Sensor (typically, your server has only one 10/100 network port). During the Sensor configuration, you will establish communication between your Sensors and your Manager server.
