Cable the Auxiliary port
The Auxiliary port is used for modem access to the Sensor for setup and configuration.
You cannot use a modem the first time you configure a Sensor.
Task
1
For modem connections, plug a straight-through modem cable into the Auxiliary port on the
Sensor.
This port is labeled as Aux on the Sensor front panel.
2
Connect a modem to the Aux port.
3
Connect a telephone line to the modem.
Required settings for the Aux port are:
Name Setting
Baud rate 38400
Number of bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Flow Control None
Cable the fail-open port
Fail-open functionality for the GE Monitoring ports is accomplished using the standard Gigabit
Fail-open Bypass Kit, sold separately. McAfee recommends deploying active fail-open kits for
protection of mission critical networks. Both copper and optical versions are available. For more
information, see the documentation that accompanies the Kit.
Cable the Management port
The Management port is used for communication with the Manager server.
Task
1
Plug a Cat-5e Ethernet cable into the Management port.
This port is labeled as Mgmt on the front panel of the Sensor.
2
Connect the other end of the cable to the network device, such as a hub, a switch, or a router that
in turn connects to the Manager server.
To isolate and protect your management traffic, McAfee strongly recommends using a separate,
dedicated management subnet to interconnect the Sensors and the Manager.
