Folks, I understand the IDS and TAPS, but not completely. The main thing is the physical hookup of the TAP to the IDS. I don't understand the "100Mb IDS Tapping Diagram (with only 100bt span port)" diagram. The switch being used, can it be any old switch or does it have to be something that is programmable? What I don't understand is how the traffic gets through the switch. How does the switch know where to send the packets which are coming in from the Port A and Port B?
