Attaching Cables to the Sensor About connecting cables to the Monitoring ports 4 Task 1 Plug the cable appropriate for use with your Gigabit Ethernet into one of the Monitoring ports, for example 1A. 2 Plug another cable into the peer of the port used in Step 1. 3 Connect the other end of each cable to the network devices that you want to monitor. For example, if you plan to monitor traffic between a switch and a router, connect the cable connected to 1A to the switch and the one connected to 1B to the router. See also Cable types for routers, switches, hubs, and PCs on page 28 How to use peer ports on page 27 Connect the cables for tap mode To deploy the Sensor in tap mode, you must use a Sensor's Gigabit Ethernet Monitoring port pair with a third-party external tap.

See also Cable types for routers, switches, hubs, and PCs on page 28 How to use peer ports on page 27 Connect the cables for SPAN or hub mode For the Sensor, monitoring in SPAN or hub mode occurs in in-line fail-open mode. When you monitor in SPAN or hub mode, you use only single ports. To connect an Sensor to a SPAN port or hub, plug an LC fiber-optic or 45 cable into one of the modules and connect the other end of the cable to the SPAN port or the hub. Connect the cables for Sensor failover For Sensor failover, connect two M-8000 Sensors using interconnection cables. These two Sensors must be running the same software version. 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. McAfee® Network Security Platform M-8000 Sensor Product Guide 29

Task
1
Plug the cable appropriate for use with your Gigabit Ethernet into one of the Monitoring ports, for
example 1A.
2
Plug another cable into the peer of the port used in Step 1.
3
Connect the other end of each cable to the network devices that you want to monitor.
For example, if you plan to monitor traffic between a switch and a router, connect the cable
connected to 1A to the switch and the one connected to 1B to the router.

Connect the cables for SPAN or hub mode
For the Sensor, monitoring in SPAN or hub mode occurs in in-line fail-open mode. When you monitor in
SPAN or hub mode, you use only single ports.
To connect an Sensor to a SPAN port or hub, plug an LC fiber-optic or 45 cable into one of the modules
and connect the other end of the cable to the SPAN port or the hub.
Connect the cables for Sensor failover
For Sensor failover, connect two M-8000 Sensors using interconnection cables. These two Sensors
must be running the same software version. 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.
