ExtraHop IDS 8280 Quick Start Manual

Deploy the IDS 8280 sensor

Published: 2023-03-22
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) sensors integrate with packet sensors to generate detections based on
industry-standard IDS signatures. This guide explains how to install the rack-mounted IDS 8280 sensor.

Installation prerequisites

To install the sensor, your environment must meet the following requirements:
Sensor
1U of rack space and electrical connections for 2 x 750 W power supplies.
Management
One 10/100/1000 BASE-T network port for sensor management.
Monitoring (capture)
High performance interfaces: One to two network ports for connection to 25 GbE or 10 GbE sources
of packet data.
Management + monitoring interfaces: One to three network ports for connection to 1 GbE sources
of packet data.
Network Access
Ensure that administrators can access the Administration settings on the sensor over TCP port 443.
