Setting up your Sensors

Unpack the Sensor and place on a sturdy, level counter top.

Attach the provided rack mounting ears to the Sensor.

Install the Sensor in a rack. Sensors are either 1 or 2 RU, depending on model.

For detailed instructions on these tasks, see your Sensor model's Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Product Guide.

Install SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 transceivers (not included) in the Sensor's GE ports.

Note

Use only SFP, SFP+, QSFP+, or QSFP28 transceivers purchased either from Trellix or from an approved vendor. For a list of approved vendors, please see our website.

(Optional) If you have purchased a redundant power supply for your Sensor, install the power supply. Sensors that support a redundant power supply ship with only one power supply; the other must be purchased separately from Trellix. Other Sensor models have an internal power supply.

First, connect the sensor MGMT(management) port to your network for proper communication with the Manager. Then connect the RS232 DB9 Sensor port to a PC(with a provided DB9 cable) or to a Terminal server and configure its IP. Once a trusted communication is established between the Sensor and Manager, the Manager can be utilized for necessary Sensor configurations.

For detailed information on how to configure the Sensor IP address and establish trust, refer to section Configure the Sensor in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Installation Guide.
