Re: [Snort-users] Which switches are recommneded

["CS Lee" <geek00l@gmail.com>]

Hey Albert,

Seems my blog post comes to the right time - 

http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/12/3com-3226-enable-port-mirroring.html

3Com super stack definitely allow port mirroring, but if you want more
flexible port mirroring and you can consider superstack 4000 series as
it supports traffic mirroring based on acl which is more flexible. By
the way Cisco switch definitely support span port but again everything
comes with the prize :)

Cheers.

I have an opportunity to implement a Corporate backbone with the right

I originally was reviewing the Linksys Managed Switches, until I
discovered that these devices do not support SPAN (Switch Port
ANalyzer), which permits traffic to be monitored by another port (did I
need to say this in this group, probably not!).

Anyway, are there any other switches being used that permit the Snort
IDS to monitor traffic in the switch (without using an external device?).

TIA
