Page 8: M-2850/M-2950 Key Features
External Compact Flash port M-2850/M-2950 physical description A high-port density M-2850/M-2950 Sensor, is designed for high bandwidth links, and is equipped with twenty Fast Ethernet ports (or interfaces). This Sensor can monitor ten 1 Gbps Ethernet segments in full-duplex mode (tap or in-line), and twenty segments in half-duplex mode (monitoring SPAN ports or hubs). - Page 9 If you choose to run in fail-over mode, port 6A is used to interconnect with a standby M-2850/M-2950 Sensor. The gigabit ports of the M-2850/M-2950 running in In-line mode fail closed, meaning that if the Sensor fails, it will interrupt/block data flow. Refer to the Gigabit Fail-Open Bypass Kit Guide for more information.

Page 17: Setting Up The Sensor
Place the Sensor in a physically secure location, close to the switches or routers it will be monitoring. Ideally, the Sensor should be located within a standard communications rack. Each M-2850/M-2950 is a 2RU (2 rack unit). To mount the Sensor on a rack, you will attach two mounting ears and rails to the Sensor as described in the subsequent sections. -
Page 18: Mount The Sensor On A Rack
Before you mount the Sensor on the rack, make sure that power is OFF. Remove the power cable and all network interface cables from the Sensor. Because of the weight of the appliance, McAfee recommends that two people place the chassis into the rail cabinet. -
Page 19: Redundant Power Supply
A basic configuration of the Sensor includes one hot swappable supply. You may install a second hot-swappable power supply (purchased separately from McAfee) for redundancy. Each of these modules has one handle for insertion or extraction from the unit as well as a release latch. -
Page 20: Cable The Sensor
SFP optical interfaces are less than half the size of GBIC interfaces. To ensure compatibility, McAfee supports only those SFP modules purchased through McAfee or from a McAfee-approved vendor. For a list of approved vendors, see the on-line KnowledgeBase at http:// mysupport.mcafee.com/Eservice/. -

Page 22: Power On The Sensor
The Sensor has no power switch. It powers on as soon as one of its power cable is connected to a power source. Power off the Sensor McAfee recommends that you use the shutdown CLI command to halt the Sensor before powering it down. For more information on CLI commands, see McAfee Network Security Platform CLI Guide. McAfee... -
Page 23: Attaching Cables To The Sensor
The Console port on the Sensor is used for setup and configuration of the Sensor. Task For console connections, plug the DB9 Console cable supplied by McAfee into the Console port on the Sensor. This port is labeled as Console on the Sensor front panel. -

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. -

Gigabit port 6A is the fail-over interconnection port on the M-2850/M-2950 Sensors. Task Plug the cable appropriate for use with your SFP module into port 6A of the M-2850/M-2950 of the active Sensor. Connect the other end of the cable to port 6A of the M-2850/M-2950 of the standby Sensor. - Page 28 Installation and troubleshooting instructions for the Kit can be found in the Guide that accompanies the kit.
