Re: Which switches are recommneded

["CS Lee" <geek00l () gmail com>]

Hey Albert,

Seems my blog post comes to the right time -

http://geek00l.blogspot.com/2006/12/3com-3226-enable-port-mirroring.html

3Com super stack definitely allow port mirroring, but if you want more
flexible port mirroring and you can consider superstack 4000 series as it
supports traffic mirroring based on acl which is more flexible. By the way
Cisco switch definitely support span port but again everything comes with
the prize :)

Cheers.
