Cabling for in-line The Gigabit Ethernet ports fail closed, meaning they stop the flow of traffic if the sensor fails. To allow traffic to flow uninterrupted, you must use special hardware and cable the sensor for fail-open functionality. For instructions, see the section later in this chapter.

The cabling instructions in this chapter
Use a crossover Ethernet RJ-45 cable to connect a router port to the
10/100/1000 copper SFP Monitoring ports.
Use a straight-through Ethernet RJ-45 cable to connect a switch/hub port to
10/100/1000 copper SFP Monitoring ports.
Use a crossover Ethernet RJ-45 cable to connect a router port to PC to the
sensor Management port.
Note:
You should also use a crossover Ethernet RJ-45 cable to connect a PC to the
sensor monitoring port.
Cabling for in-line
The Gigabit Ethernet ports fail closed, meaning they stop the flow of traffic if the
sensor fails. To allow traffic to flow uninterrupted, you must use special hardware and
cable the sensor for fail-open functionality. For instructions, see the section later in
this chapter.
