The NS-series Sensors use three types of small form-factor pluggable transceiver modules as shown in the following table. For more information, see the NS-series Transceiver Modules section in Trellix Intrusion Prevention System NS-series Reference Guide.
Type | Performance |
|---|---|
SFP | 1 Gbps (copper) 1 Gbps (fiber optic) |
SFP+ | 1 Gbps (fiber optic) 10 Gbps (fiber optic) |
QSFP+ | 40 Gbps (fiber optic) |
Each module is an input/output device that plugs into an LC-type Gigabit Ethernet port, linking the module port with a copper or fiber-optic network. SFP optical interfaces are less than half the size of GBIC interfaces.
To ensure compatibility, Trellix supports only those SFP, SFP+ and QSFP+ modules purchased through Trellix or from a Trellix-approved vendor. For a list of approved vendors, locate the relevant KnowledgeBase article at https://supportm.trellix.com. Click Search the Support Knowledge Center.
These installation instructions provide information for installing SFP, SFP+ and QSFP+ modules that use a bail clasp for securing the module in place in the Sensor. Your module might be slightly different. Check the module manufacturer's installation instructions for more details. For ease of installation, insert the module in the Sensor while it is turned off and before placing it on a rack.
Caution
To prevent eye damage, do not stare into open laser apertures.
