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:
