Stefan, I think you're confusing your OSI layers here, routers route and switches switch. If you're spanning 300 megabits per second, what you'll need is a gigabit card for the span port on the 3550 (or directly connected to the passive tap you've installed). ---Rico On Wed, 11 Aug 2004 16:37:24 +0200, Stefan Baltus <stefan.baltus@xbn.nl> wrote:
Hi,
We have a situation where we need to intercept certain IP traffic that is somewhere within a link of 300Mbit/s of traffic (GigabitEthernet). The setup that we built is as follows:
router ^ | GE | fiber tap -------> cisco catalyst 3550 | | GE v switch
The catalyst 3350 is receiving the traffic from router to switch and vice versa. Now, we'd like to filter all but certain IP's on the 3350 and switch this traffic to a FE port on that same 3550. Currently we've put the FE interface in SPAN mode, but that fills up the FE port completely (obviously). Is there any way to accomplish this?
Regards,
Stefan
