Hi Shashank, Thanx , the information is really helpful...I was using a IBM switch..but now i replaced it with hub..As we are doing experimental project.. it helped me to test snort. Now i am testing snort with prelude..I am using snort as NIDS in prelude. Do u have any idea about the architecture of snort, how it work? If u have any information plz... send me..That'll be helpful to me. Thank you smitha h v --- Shashank Bhide <shashank () biochem okstate edu> wrote:
Hi Smitha, What sort of switch are you using? Is it an Extreme/Cisco/3Com switch? I know how to get mirroring to work on extreme switches. Howerver, it would not be difficult to do the same on either 3Com or Cisco. The Cisco OS must have some configuration where you could mirror all the ports to one. Also if you use snort with a subnet mask of the whole of your subnet you should be able to catch all of the traffic that flows through your network. Hope this helps.
