There is a good little discussion about this in the redhat
install guide on www.snort.org/docs/.  Page 6 I believe.

Hi all,

We have a small network (<50 PCs) and I would like to add a
Windows 2000 
machine with Snort to the mix.

 From what I have been reading am I correct in assuming that
what I should 
do is get a network tap and then set things up as follows...


                             [snort PC]
                                 ^
                                 |
                                 |
[router] -->  [firewall] -->  [tap]  --> [switch with all our
PCs]


For a small network is this the "recommended" way to do things
without 
having to use port mirroring on the switch?

Thanks in advance for all your help,

Kevin
