Re: Snort on switched network

[Mike Shaw <mshaw () wwisp com>]

As long as your switch is manageable, not bad at all.

Run the port in "mirrored", "monitored", or "span" mode.  The term depends 
on the make/model.  In really big switches or very complex environments, 
you *sometimes* have to watch out for a performance hit, but that's very rare.
