Re: switched n/w

Hi Kaushal,

If you have a switched network already, I would suggest setting up VLAN's
for the hosts, and the users, basically all the users that are using these
apps, could have their traffic on a separate VLAN, so that no one else can
see this, this would help to secure unauthorsed sniffing of the network
traffic.
