McAfee IIP-M80K-ISAA - Network Security Platform M-8000 Quick Start Manual

Setting up an M-8000 sensor
This Quick Start Guide explains how to quickly set up and activate
your McAfee IntruShield M-8000 sensor in in-line mode. Cabling the
sensor's XFP (10 Gigabit Small Form-factor Pluggable) and SFP
(Small Form-factor Pluggable) Gigabit Ethernet Monitoring ports for
in-line mode enables you to configure the sensor to drop attacks
before they reach their target
Note:
If you are setting up your sensor in SPAN or Tap mode, see
the sensor's Product Guide for cabling instructions.
All product documentation referenced in this Quick Start Guide is
found on the McAfee Documentation Service Portal.
