I wanted to ping the list and get some feedback on switches with advanced port mirroring with filtering. Right now we are using Cisco 6509s with SUP 720s in a VoIP application. The routers and switches work well, but we keep hitting the wall on port monitoring because cisco only lets us have two monitoring ports. Lets say I have a 32 port switch with all sorts of SIP hardware on it. I am looking for a switch that would let me do someting like this: Mirror all POP ISP traffic to NetVMG box Mirror all SIP and RTP traffic to VoIP Hammer probe Mirror all SIP (5060 65060) traffic to signaling to Ethereal box Mirror all RTCP traffic to VoIP quality engine
