McAfee® IntruShield® IPS 4.1 M-8000 Sensor Product Guide Attaching Cables to the M-8000 Cabling the Interconnect ports Cabling the Interconnect ports The Interconnect ports are used to connect the primary sensor to the secondary sensor. To connect the sensors: 1 Plug the supplied Ethernet cable into the XC1 port of the of the primary sensor. 2 Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable used in Step 1 into the XC4 port of the secondary sensor. 3 Insert the supplied XFP modules into the XC2, XC3, XC5, and XC6 ports on the primary and secondary sensors. Note: McAfee supports the use only of McAfee-supplied modules or modules from approved vendors. 4 Plug one end of an LC-LC fiber-optic cable into the XC2 port of the primary sensor and connect the other end of the cable to the XC5 port of the secondary sensor. 5 Plug one end of an LC-LC fiber-optic cable into the XC3 port of the primary sensor and connect the other end of the cable to the XC6 port of the secondary sensor. Cabling the Monitoring port Connect to the network devices you will be monitoring via the sensor Monitoring ports. You can deploy sensors in the operating modes shown in the following table. Cabling instructions for the sensor Monitoring ports are shown on the pages indicated. To cable the M-8000 in this mode... In-line mode (fail-closed) In-line mode (fail-open) External tap mode See... Cabling for in-line mode Using fail-open hardware Cabling for TAP mode SPAN or Hub mode Failover Cabling for SPAN or hub mode Cabling the Failover interconnection ports Using peer ports All full-duplex sensor deployment modes require the use of two peer monitoring ports on the sensor. On the sensors, the numbered ports are wired in pairs to accommodate the traffic. The following XFP 10 Gigabit Ethernet ports and SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports are coupled and must be used together: 19
