fail-over pair even if the Primary sensor has some of its monitoring port pairs in non-
Inline (TAP/SPAN) mode is provided.
For example, in an I-3000, you may have port pairs as 1A-1B, 2A-2B, 3A-3B and 4A-
4B configured in in-line mode and ports 5A, 5B configured in SPAN mode.
Note:
Cabling I-3000 sensors for Failover
Monitoring ports 6A-and 6B are the interconnection ports on the I-3000. A failover
cable is the only additional hardware required to support failover communication
between two I-3000 sensors.
When 6A-6B interconnection ports are connected in failover mode with 10 or 100
Mpbs speed value, during failover creation the ports will be updated to 1 Gbps speed
value.
