AWN200 to AWN201 Sensor Replacement - Mirroring Deployment

Updated Nov 10, 2023

Replace an AWN200 Sensor with an AWN201 Sensor - mirroring

You can replace the AWN200 Sensor with the AWN201 Sensor in a mirroring deployment.

Requirements

Steps

  1. Install the AWN201 Sensor in the applicable rack location. If needed, use the provided rack ears.

  2. On the AWN200 Sensor, disconnect the CAT6 RJ45 Ethernet cables from ports 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and then, on the AWN201 Sensor connect them to ports 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

    Tip: For port information, see AWN200 Sensor components and AWN201 Sensor components.

  3. On the AWN200 Sensor, disconnect the CAT6 RJ45 Ethernet cable from the management port, and then, on the AWN201 Sensor, connect it to the management port.

  4. Using the AC30 US power cord, connect the power connector on the sensor to a power source.

  5. Turn on the sensor power.

    The Power LED is green when the sensor power is on.

  6. Ping the management IP address that you provided to Arctic Wolf to verify network connectivity.

  7. Wait 15 minutes, and then make sure the Status LED is green. This shows that the sensor is connected to the Arctic Wolf monitoring service.

  8. If you cannot successfully complete these steps, email security@arcticwolf.com.

  9. Use the return label to ship the old sensor back to Arctic Wolf.

  10. Contact Arctic Wolf to confirm that sensor connectivity, flows, and logs are functioning correctly using the ticket for the sensor replacement.
