McAfee® IntruShield® IPS 4.1 IntruShield Sensor 3000 Product Guide Attaching cables to the I-3000 Sensor Cabling the Management port Cabling the Management port The Management (Mgmt) port is used for communication with the ISM server. ► To connect the sensor to the ISM server: 1 Plug a Cat 5/Cat 5e cable into the Management port (labeled Mgmt on the sensor front panel). 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the network device (for example, hub, switch, router) that in turn connects to the ISM server. Note: To isolate and protect your management traffic, McAfee strongly recommends using a separate, dedicated management subnet to interconnect the sensors and the ISM. Cabling the I-3000 Monitoring ports 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 I-3000 in this mode... In-line mode (fail-closed) In-line mode (fail-open) See... Cabling the I-3000 to monitor in in-inline mode Using fail-open hardware (on page 28) External tap mode (GBIC ports) Cabling I-3000 SFP ports in external Tap mode (on page 26) SPAN or Hub mode Cabling the I-3000 sensor to monitor in SPAN or hub mode Failover Cabling I-3000 sensors for failover Using peer ports for I-3000 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 SFP Gigabit Ethernet ports are coupled and must be used together: 23
