Re: Which switches are recommneded

["Patrick S. Harper" <patrick () internetsecurityguru com>]

I am using the dell web managed gig switch's for my snort system here at the
house, they are pretty reasonably priced and have worked for me for over a
year with no problems.  At my work I use the larger enterprise Cisco chassis


Models are PowerConnect 2708, 2716, 2724.

Subject: [Snort-users] Which switches are recommneded

I have an opportunity to implement a Corporate backbone with the right 
tools.

I originally was reviewing the Linksys Managed Switches, until I 
discovered that these devices do not support SPAN (Switch Port 
ANalyzer), which permits traffic to be monitored by another port (did I 
need to say this in this group, probably not!).

Anyway, are there any other switches being used that permit the Snort 
IDS to monitor traffic in the switch (without using an external device?).

TIA
