M-6050 Quick Start Guide

Setting up an M-6050 sensor

This Quick Start Guide explains how to quickly set up and activate

your McAfee IntruShield M-6050 sensor in in-line mode. Cabling the

sensor’s XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable) and SFP

(Small Form-factor Pluggable) Gigabit Ethernet Monitoring ports for

in-line mode enables you to configure the sensor to drop attacks

before they reach their target.

Note:

If you are setting up your sensor in SPAN or Tap mode, see

the sensor’s Product Guide for cabling instructions.

All product documentation referenced in this Quick Start Guide is

found on the McAfee Service Portal.
