Network Sensor for TippintPoint is a pre-release sub-feature and is not part of the existing features of an official commercial or general release. Please review the Pre-release Sub-Feature Disclaimer before using the sub-features.
Enabling the Network Sensor on your TippingPoint TXE-Series Threat Protection System (TPS) provides greater visibility into your network environment and enables greater sharing of network telemetry with Trend Vision One detection and response apps such as Workbench.
Network Sensor for TippingPoint has the following system requirements:
  • Network Security only supports Network Sensor on TippingPoint TXE-Series TPS devices including 9200 TXE and 8600 TXE devices.
  • Network Sensor uses 50GB of user disk space on the TPS device.
  • The TPS device must be rebooted after Network Sensor is installed. This reboot does not cause any downtime for the device.
  • Enabling Network Sensor for TippingPoint reduces the bandwidth capacity of TippingPoint devices as follows:
    • 8600 TXE devices reduced from 40 Gbps to 20 Gbps
    • 9200 TXE devices reduced from 100 Gbps to 60 Gbps
  • Network Sensor for TippingPoint requires configuring additional ports and firewall exceptions. For more information, see Ports and URLs used by TippingPoint.
