Re: Snort on switched network

[Chuck Morford <cmorford () dot state nc us>]

Hi,
I'm running Snort on a mirrored port on my switched network and it seems to
be fine...

 I don't know why it would be a bad idea.

If your IDS box is attched to a non-mirrored switch port you're not getting
all the traffic, only what's on your segment.
