Hi, i was looking for a "portable" (i.e.reasonably small and lightweight) solution of a capture-capable hub/switch on the wiki pages: http://wiki.wireshark.org/HubReference http://wiki.wireshark.org/SwitchReference But found out that most of the stuff is either not for sale any more (the hubs) or does not fulfill the "portable" requirement (the managable switches). During my following web search, i stumbled upon the Netgear GS105E: http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/PlusSwitches/GS105E.aspx which seems to be the perfect fit in terms of size/prize/functions. It is in fact a mini-switch that can do port-mirroring according to the specs. The question i have is if anybody already tested this device and can confirm the port mirroring capabilities. Especially i wanted to know if it is possible to mirror outbound only, so as not to disturb the host network. Second question is if anybody can recommend another similar device of equivalent price (around 50 EUR)? Gigabit is a must, PoE would be nice to have too, but i don't expect it within that price range. thanks for any comments, Lars ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
