You could setup a Linux/Solaris (or other) device (It would need to be GigE capable) and span all of the data to that port and then use either iptables/ipchains to log the data and drop what don't need or use ethereal/tcpdump to capture the data using filters to weed out the information you do not need. Also as mentioned in a previous reply you could use the VLAN ACL features depending on your IOS version. There are several ways to achieve what you are looking to do; it just depends on your level of comfort with configuring the methods mentioned and of course cost.

The best solution was by Boyan Krosnov who suggested the following: Configure the GE port where the traffic comes in from the fiber tap in a separate new vlan A, access mode. Configure fastethernet X to be in access mode for vlan A. Configure a static mac entry for vlan A pointing the destination mac address of the router where the traffic heads to to fastethernet X. Connect your sniffer on Fastethernet X. -- at this stage all traffic going to that router will be dumped to the sniffer. Not precisely what you want. -- now comes the trick Configure a VLAN access-map http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/products_command_r eference_chapter09186a008021145c.html ip access-list ext acl1 permit ip host x.x.x.x any permit ip any host x.x.x.x vlan access-map alabala match ip address acl1 action forward vlan filter alabala vlan-list A This works for my case.

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
