solution a: port mirroring drawback: switch performance degration, packet loss at high network utilization (full duplex bandwidth sums up to 200Mbit/s max per port) solution b: see attached picture (may be copied and distributed for non commercial purposes only)

Hello!
Is it possible to run Snort in a switched environment? Cause Snort can only
sniff the traffic of the host he is running on. Unless he is doing
something
like ARP poisoning or something like this... But I think this would lead into trouble if you run the arpspoof preprocessor ;) Greets Bastian Ballmann -- Bastian Ballmann [ ballmann () co-de de ] @ Computational Design GmbH [ http://www.co-de.de ]
