Re: Snort on span port

["Michael J. Pelletier" <mjpelletier () mjpelletier com>]

Hello

The Cisco 5500 series switches have a bad rep for dropping packets on SPAN
ports. Unfortunetly, if everything is corretly configured and you still are
dropping packets you might try putting the IDS on a hub with the other links.
This would eliminate the need for a SPAM port. Understand this is not the best
way to do things but, it does get arround the 5500s problem with SPAM ports.

Take Care,
Michael
