the DS line of hubs from Netgear are Dual Speed, that is they have the two repeated channels, 100 and 10. If, as in your situation, your machines are all 100 (or even all 10) they you'll be fine with snort.Still waiting for someone to review the shomiti ethernet taps for use with snort... -Dan
Well depending on what you are doing, they are acceptable but I'm using them in conjunction with a hub ( actually 2 ) inet | [router] | [ hub ] - shomiti - [ hub ] - monitoring devices | local The thing would be very nice is to drop it and replace the main hub portion but then you would break apart your RX/TX into 2 separate channels to monitor Shomiti's are designed like ( might have the monitor's swapped but i'm on vacation :> ) inet -- -- local inet monitor -- local monitor so that you can see both sides of a 100mbit conversation Thats really great for being able to monitor troubles but IDS works best when you can see both sides at once at the same sensor. I've not tried unifying them at one hub yet but thats one risk prone possibilty. -- Chris Green <cmg () uab edu> Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. _______________________________________________ Snort-users mailing list Snort-users () lists sourceforge net Go to this URL to change user options or unsubscribe: http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/snort-users Snort-users list archive: http://www.geocrawler.com/redir-sf.php3?list=snort-users
