Hi Peter, if you are feeding this into a switch you should be able to switch it just like the real traffic.. ie plug your fibers into gbics on whatever switch you want to use, i dont see any special requirements for this application Steve On Thu, 7 Oct 2004, Patrick Arguello wrote:
In my datacenter, I have three Gig links coming in that I am sniffing using passive taps. What I want to do is feed these links into a layer 3 switch so that I can have them sent to different packet analysis boxes by destination address or packet types or ports. What should I look for in a switch for such a use -- something that can take in sniffed traffic on fiber gig links and parcel them out to different servers on copper gig links based on routing rules.
Please email me your recommendation or suggestion directly and I will summarize what I find out for the list.
Thanks,
Patrick A.
