McAfee® IntruShield® IPS 4.1 IntruShield Sensor 3000 Product Guide Cabling for Tap mode Attaching cables to the I-3000 Sensor Cabling for Tap mode Cabling the I-3000 SFP ports to monitor in external tap mode TheI-3000 sensor's SFP ports must be used with a 3rd-party external tap. Note: For a list of approved 3rd-party tap vendors, see the on-line KnowledgeBase, Mcafee Support Site https://mysupport.mcafee.com. ► To connect the sensor to the devices you want to monitor in external tap mode: 1 Plug the cable appropriate for use with your SFP module into one of the Monitoring ports labeled xA (for example, 1A). 2 Plug another cable into the other Monitoring 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 mode Cabling the I-3000 sensor to monitor in SPAN or hub 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 I-3000 sensor to a SPAN port or Hub: 1 Plug an LC-type fiber optic cable into one of the monitoring ports. 2 Connect the other end of the cable to the SPAN port or the hub. Note: See Cable types for routers, switches, hubs, and PCs (on page 25) to determine which cable type to use with which type of network device. Cabling the failover interconnection ports Failover requires connecting two identical I-3000 sensors (same model, same software) via an interconnection cable or cables. Previously, the creation of Sensor fail-over pair was allowed only if all the Primary sensor's monitoring port pairs were in in-line mode. Now, the flexibility to create a 26
