Sourcefire 7000 Series
The Sourcefire 7000 Series is available in the following configurations:
•
1U device one-half the width of the rack tray with eight copper interfaces,
each with configurable bypass capability.
•
1U device with either eight copper interfaces or eight fiber interfaces, each
with configurable bypass capability
•
1U device with four copper interfaces with configurable bypass capability
and eight small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports without bypass capability
3D7010/7030/7030
The 3D7010/7020/7030 is delivered with eight copper port sensing interfaces,
each with configurable bypass capability. The following illustration of the front of
the chassis indicates the location of the sensing interfaces.
Eight Port 1000BASE-T Copper Configurable Bypass Interfaces
You can use these connections to passively monitor up to eight separate network
segments. You can also use paired interfaces in inline or inline with bypass mode
to deploy the device as an intrusion prevention system on up to four networks.
If you want to take advantage of the device’s automatic bypass capability, you
must connect two interfaces vertically (interfaces 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, or 7
and 8) to a network segment. Automatic bypass capability allows traffic to flow
even if the device fails or loses power. After you cable the interfaces, you use the
web interface to configure a pair of interfaces as an inline set and enable bypass
mode on the inline set.
