McAfee® IntruShield® IPS 4.1 M-8000 Sensor Product Guide Attaching Cables to the M-8000 Cabling for SPAN or hub mode 1 Plug the cable appropriate for use with your Gigabit Ethernet port into one of the ports labeled xA (for example, 1A). 2 Plug another cable into the other port labeled xB (for example, 1B). 3 Connect the other end of each cable to the tap. 4 Connect the network devices that you want to monitor to the tap. Cabling for SPAN or hub mode For the M-8000 sensor, monitoring in SPAN or hub mode occurs in in-line fail-open mode. When you monitor in SPAN or hub mode, you do not need to use a port pair. You can use single ports. To connect an M-8000 to a SPAN port or hub, plug the appropriate cable (LC fiber-optic or RJ45) into one of the modules and connect the other end of the cable to the SPAN port or the hub. Note: See Cable types for routers, switches, hubs, and PCs to determine which cable type to use with which type of network device. Cabling the Failover interconnection ports Failover requires connecting two identical M-8000 sensors (same model, same software) using an interconnection cable or cables. The Gigabit ports 3A and 3B are the failover interconnection port on the M-8000 P sensor. Failover cables are the only additional hardware required to support failover communication between two M-8000 sensors. To connect two M-8000s for failover: 1 Plug the cable appropriate for use with your XFP module into ports 3A and 3B of the M-8000 P of the active sensor. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to ports 3A and 3B of the M-8000 P of the standby sensor.

Attaching Cables to the M-8000
M-8000 Sensor Product Guide
Cabling for SPAN or hub mode
1
Plug the cable appropriate for use with your Gigabit Ethernet port into one of the
ports labeled xA (for example, 1A).
2
Plug another cable into the other port labeled xB (for example, 1B).
3
Connect the other end of each cable to the tap.
4
Connect the network devices that you want to monitor to the tap.
Cabling for SPAN or hub mode
For the M-8000 sensor, monitoring in SPAN or hub mode occurs in in-line fail-open
mode. When you monitor in SPAN or hub mode, you do not need to use a port pair.
You can use single ports. To connect an M-8000 to a SPAN port or hub, plug the
appropriate cable (LC fiber-optic or RJ45) into one of the modules and connect the
other end of the cable to the SPAN port or the hub.
Note:
See Cable types for routers, switches, hubs, and PCs to determine which
cable type to use with which type of network device.
Cabling the Failover interconnection ports
Failover requires connecting two identical M-8000 sensors (same model, same
software) using an interconnection cable or cables.
The Gigabit ports 3A and 3B are the failover interconnection port on the M-8000 P
sensor.
Failover cables are the only additional hardware required to support failover
communication between two M-8000 sensors.
To connect two M-8000s for failover:
1
Plug the cable appropriate for use with your XFP module into ports 3A and 3B of
the M-8000 P of the active sensor.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to ports 3A and 3B of the M-8000 P of the
standby sensor.
