Installing a Sourcefire 3D System Appliance
Using Devices in a Stacked Configuration
Chapter 3
Install the devices in your rack so you can easily connect the cables between the
stacking modules. You can install the secondary devices above or below the
primary device.
Connect the primary device to the network segments you want to analyze in the
same way that you would connect a single 3D8250. Connect each secondary
device directly to the primary device as required for the number of secondary
devices in the configuration.
3D8250 Primary Device with One Secondary Device
The following example shows a 3D8250 primary device and one secondary
device. The secondary device is installed below the primary device. Note that the
secondary device contains no sensing interfaces.
3D8260 - 3D8250 Primary Device and One Secondary Device
The following example shows a 3D8260 configuration, which includes a
10G-capable 3D8250 primary device and one dedicated secondary device. The
secondary device is installed below the primary device.
