Cable the Monitoring ports
This procedure describes how to cable an XC-240 to run in In-line mode.
a
Plug the cable appropriate for use with the SFP+ module into one of the Monitoring ports labeled xA (for
example, 1A).
b
Plug another cable into the peer of the port used in 3a. This port will be labeled xB (for example, 1B).
c
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
router and the one connected to 1B to the switch.)
For instructions on how to cable the XC-240 to run in other operating modes, see the McAfee
Network Security Platform XC Cluster Administration Guide.
