I would check out NetOptics. They offer a 10/100 Port Aggregator Ethernet Tap which means that both the A and B traffic ports are aggregated in to a single sniffing port so you don't end up wasting 2 NICs on the IDS or having to deal with bonding the 2 interfaces for Snort to see both sides of the traffic. You can get more information on this Tap and more at: http://www.appliedwatch.com/taps_network.php -----Original Message----- From: Martin Olsson [mailto:elof () sentor se] Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 5:25 AM To: snort-users mailinglist Subject: [Snort-users] Can anyone recommend an ethernet tap? I want to buy an ethernet tap where snort will listen. A----Tap----B | Sniffer Criteria: * 100Mbps * full duplex (not a hub then) * the throughput between A and B should be almost the same as using a X-patch cable * the sniffer port should see both directions of the traffic (if A and B generate more than 100Mbps together, start dropping packets), I do not want two sniffer ports where one see A->B and the other B->A, I just want one port that mirror B<->B Maybe the sniffer-port could be 1Gbps, then packets wouldn't have to be dropped, but I guess that the price of a gigabit tap is far more than a 100Mbps one... I do not want to use a hub. I do not want to use a switch with port mirroring support. What product(s) should I look for? Not too expensive please. :-) /Martin
