Identifying the Sensing Interfaces
Figure 4-18
The quad-port 1000BASE-SX fiber non-bypass configuration uses LC-type (Local Connector) optical
transceivers.
You can use these connections to passively monitor up to four separate network segments. You also can
use paired interfaces in inline configuration on up to two network segments.
Tip
For best performance, use the interface sets consecutively. If you skip interfaces, you may experience
degraded performance.
