McAfee® IntruShield® IPS 4.1 IntruShield Sensor 4000 Product Guide Cabling for SPAN mode Attaching cables to the I-4000 Sensor Cabling for SPAN mode Cabling the I-4000 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-4000 sensor to a SPAN port or Hub: 1 Plug a SC-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 21) to determine which cable type to use with which type of network device. Cabling the failover interconnection ports Failover requires connecting two identical I-4000 sensors (same model, same software) via an interconnection cable or cables. Note: The Sensor can be configured to run in in-line or SPAN/TAP mode. TCP reset is not supported when connected in TAP mode. Cabling I-4000 sensors for failover Gigabit ports 2A-and 2B are the interconnection ports on the I-4000. A failover cable is the only additional hardware required to support failover communication between two I-4000 sensors. To connect two I-4000s for failover: 23

Cabling the I-4000 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-4000 sensor to a SPAN port or Hub:
1
Plug a SC-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
21
) to
determine which cable type to use with which type of network device.
Cabling the failover interconnection ports
Failover requires connecting two identical I-4000 sensors (same model, same
software) via an interconnection cable or cables.
Note:
The Sensor can be configured to run in in-line or SPAN/TAP mode.
TCP reset is not supported when connected in TAP mode.
Cabling I-4000 sensors for failover
Gigabit ports 2A-and 2B are the interconnection ports on the I-4000. A failover cable
is the only additional hardware required to support failover communication between
two I-4000 sensors.
