Introducing Network Security Sensors
This section describes the McAfee
®
Network Security Sensors at a high-level and also describes the McAfee
®
M-2850/M-2950 Network Security Sensor (Sensor) in detail.
Sensors are high-performance, scalable, and exible content processing appliances built for the accurate
detection and prevention of intrusions, misuse, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, and network access
control(NAC) of hosts. When deployed at key access points, a Sensor provides real-time trac monitoring to
detect malicious activity, and respond to the malicious activity as congured by the administrator.
After the Sensor is deployed and communication established, Sensors are congured and managed using the
McAfee Network Security Manager (Manager) server.
The process of conguring a Sensor and establishing communication with the Manager is described in the later
chapters of this guide. The Manager server is described in detail in the McAfee Network Security Platform Manager
Administration Guide.

About the M-2850/M-2950 Sensor
The M-2850/M-2950 Sensor provides eective network access control (NAC) of hosts.
The M-2850/M-2950 Sensor provides eective network IPS functionality as well as network access control (NAC)
of hosts.
The IPS functionality involves providing real-time detection and prevention of threats and known, zero-day, or
encrypted attacks. The Sensor can perform many types of attack responses, including generating alerts and
packet logs, resetting TCP connections, "scrubbing" malicious packets, and blocking attack packets entirely
before they reach the intended target.
NAC hosts involves regulating access to network resources based on host Operational Status level (Standard/
DHCP NAC), identity of the user logged into the host (IBAC) or both, and OOB NAC (L2, L3 ). The Sensor also
provides the Hybrid NAC functionality where a host is rst subjected to DHCP-NAC and then Standard NAC at
dierent ports of the same Sensor. For more information on the NAC functionality and congurations of the
Manager, see McAfee
®
Network Security Platform NAC Administration Guide.
Throughout this guide, the terms 'Sensor' and 'M-2850/M-2950' refer to the M-2850 or the M-2950 Sensor in
general.

Usage restrictions
The following restrictions apply to the use and operation of a Sensor:
• You may not remove the outer shell of the Sensor. Doing so will invalidate your warranty.
• The Sensor appliance is not a general purpose workstation.
• McAfee prohibits the use of the Sensor appliance for anything other than operating McAfee
®
Network
Security Platform (formerly McAfee
®
IntruShield
®
).
• McAfee prohibits the modication or installation of any hardware or software in the Sensor appliance that is
not part of the normal operation of McAfee Network Security Platform.
Safety measures
Please read the following warnings before you install the product. These safety measures apply to all Sensor
models unless otherwise specied.
Failure to observe these safety warnings could result in serious physical injury.
Warnings:
• Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.
• To remove all power from the Sensor, unplug all power cords, including the redundant power cord.
• Only trained and qualied personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment.
• Before working on an equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings,

• This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during
normal use.
• Do not remove the outer shell of the Sensor. Doing so will invalidate your warranty.
• Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Blank
faceplates and cover panels prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis, contain
electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment, and direct the ow of cooling air
through the chassis.
• To avoid electric shock, do not connect safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits to telephone-network voltage
(TNV) circuits. LAN ports contain SELV circuits, and WAN ports contain TNV circuits. Some LAN and WAN
ports both use RJ-45 connectors. Use caution when connecting cables.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
• Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case users
will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Working with ber-optic ports
The Sensor uses ber-optic connectors for its Monitoring ports. The connector type is a small form-factor
pluggable (SFP) ber-optic connector that is LC-duplex compatible.
Note the following:
• Fiber-optic SFP ports are considered Class 1 laser or Class 1 LED ports.
To avoid exposure to radiation, do not stare into the aperture of a ber-optic port. Invisible radiation might be
emitted from the aperture of the port when no ber cable is connected.
• Only FDA registered, EN 60825-1 and IEC 60825-1 certied Class 1 SFP laser transceivers are acceptable for
use with the Sensor.
Contents of the Sensor box

Setup overview
Setting up a Sensor involves the following steps:
Task
1
Positioning the Sensor.
2
Installing interface modules (SFP).
3
Attaching power, network, and monitoring cables.
4
Powering on the Sensor.
5
Conguring the Sensor after you have set up and powered on the Sensor.
Position 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.
Install the rails and ears on the chassis and rack
Before you begin
Before you install the rails and ears on the chassis, make sure that power is OFF. Remove the power
cable and all network interface cables from the Sensor.
3
McAfee
®
Network Security Platform M-2850/M-2950 Sensor Product Guide
17
Each rack-mounting rail and ear has holes that match up with holes in the chassis. You will need a screwdriver
to secure the slotted panhead screws.
Task
1
Verify that you have all the parts you will need: two three-in-one rails, two chassis ears, and fourteen slotted
panhead screws.
Each rail includes a rail that mount to the rack, a rail that slides into the mounted rail, and a rail that is
attached to the chassis.
2
Disassemble the slide rail by pulling the inner rail out and pushing the side latch in to separate.
3
Attach the inner rail to the chassis by fastening it with the screws provided.
4
Attach the ear to each side of the chassis.
5
Mount the L-shape and external rail to your rack frame.
The adjustable end of the L-shape rail is intended for placement at the back of your rack. Adjust the rail as
needed for length. You are now ready to mount the Sensor in the rack.
Mount the Sensor on a rack
McAfee recommends rack-mounting your Sensors. The rack-mounting hardware included with the Sensors is
suitable for most 19-inch equipment racks and telco-type racks. For maintenance purposes, you should have
access to the front and rear of the Sensor.
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.
Insert the chassis into the rail cabinet and complete the rack-mounting of the Sensor by securing the rack
mount ears to two posts or mounting strips in the rack. The ears secure the Sensor to two rack posts. Be sure to
fasten the ears securely to the rack.
You can also mid-mount the Sensor (optional). For details, refer to the corresponding Sensor McAfee Network
Security Platform Quick Start Guide.
Remove a Sensor from the rack
Because of the weight of the appliance, McAfee recommends that two people remove the chassis from the rail
cabinet. When removing the chassis from the rack, pull chassis forward until you hear the innermost rails snap
in place. On each side of the rails, press in the release button as pictured below and continue pulling the
chassis.

Redundant power supply
A basic conguration 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.
Figure 3-2 Inserting the power supply for the Sensor
Install the power supply
Task
1
Unpack the power supply from its shipping carton.
2
Remove the faceplate panel covering the power supply slot.
The faceplate panel should remain in place unless a power supply is in the power supply slot. Do not operate
the Sensor without the faceplate panel in place.
3
Place the power supply in the slot with the cable outlet facing front and on the left side of the faceplate.
Figure 3-3 Power supply units of the Sensor
4
Slide in the power supply until it makes contact with the backplane, then push rmly to mate the connectors
solidly with the backplane.
For true redundant operation with the optional redundant power supply, McAfee recommends that you plug
each supply into a dierent power circuit. For optimal protection, use uninterruptable power sources.
Remove the power supply
Note that the power supplies are hot-swappable. To avoid data interruption, do not power
o both power
supplies on an in-line Sensor, else the Sensor shuts down and all data trac stops. Power o only the power
supply you are replacing.

To remove all power from the Sensor, unplug all power cords.
Cable the Sensor
Follow the steps outlined in Attaching Cables to the Sensor to connect cables to the monitoring, response,
console, and management ports on your Sensor.
Small form-factor pluggable modules
The Sensor uses two types of small form-factor pluggable modules as shown in the following table.
Type Performance
SFP 10/100/1000 Mbps (copper)
1 Gbps (ber optic)
Each module is a hot-swappable input/output device that plugs into an LC-type Gigabit Ethernet port, linking
the module port with a copper or ber-optic network. 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/. Click Search the KnowledgeBase.
These installation instructions provide information for installing an SFP module that uses a bail-clasp for
securing the module in place in the Sensor. Your module may be slightly dierent. Check the module
manufacturer's installation instructions for more details.
