Be careful when considering the Anue products. When we evaluated both Anue and Gigamon, we had to rule out Anue due to total lack of IPv6 support, and went with Gigamon instead. I have not heard whether the situation has changed in the last year. We liked both products for their functionality and ease of use, but for us IPv6 was the distinguishing capability. --Ron Ron Broersma DREN Chief Engineer On Mar 1, 2012, at 9:50 AM, Slade, Ian wrote:
Yes, the Cat 6500s are limited to a certain number of SPAN/port monitoring sessions. Another tool, we've switched to after using the Gigamon for many years are taps and the Anue 5236 (10Gb) port aggregator. From this we can split the SPAN feeds into different IDS/monitoring servers or load-share among several output servers. It is a great tool and very easy GUI to control the feeds and output ports.

So I am monitoring say port channel 1 to ports 1 2 3 4, and port channel 2 , ports 4 5 6 and 7. After that I cannot monitor anymore ports.

This will capture all physical interfaces associated with that vlan for mirroring/span. HTH Jonathan #22744 Sent from my HTC on the Now Network from Sprint! ----- Reply message ----- From: "A. Pishdadi" <apishdadi () gmail com> Date: Wed, Feb 29, 2012 11:12 pm Subject: Switch designed for mirroring tap ports To: "NANOG" <nanog () nanog org> Hello All, We are looking for a switch or a device that we can use for mirroring tap ports. For example , take a mirror port off of a core router say a6509, connect it to a port on said device, say port 1. I would like then to be able to mirror port 1 on said device to multiple ports, like port 2 , 3, 4. We have the need to analyze traffic from one porton multiple devices.Seems most switches are limited to mirroring to a max of 1 or 2 ports. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks, Ameen
