Staging Sensors prior to deployment

Prev Next

With large or very large deployments, if you are planning to release Sensors to various geographical regions or remote locations, you will have to consider staging your Sensors before you release them to their final destination.

For example, use the IPS Manager in a lab environment to push Sensor software to the Sensor, make sure that the Sensor is working as expected, and then box the configured Sensor and send it to its final destination. For more information, see the section Updating the configuration of a Sensor in the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Installation Guide

Or, you can use the TFTP feature to load the Sensor image at one location, before shipping the Sensor to another location. For more information, see the section Upgrading Sensor software via a TFTP server in the Trellix Intrusion Prevention System Installation Guide.

Note

Very large Sensor deployments mean that the number of Sensors deployed is more than 100. Large Sensor deployments have Sensors numbering between 36 and 100+.
