If you are running IOS you can monitor by interface or by VLAN.  On
the interface the IDS is plugged into execute this command, "port
monitor ?" too see the available options.  From my experience you can
select multiple interfaces to monitor if they are on the same VLAN,
but in this case I would just monitor by VLAN.  For the most part a
Cisco 2900 running IOS has very limited monitoring capabilities as
the 'monitor to' interface and 'monitor from' interface have to be on
the same VLAN.

Hmmmm, I differ...

If your setup is a single VLAN setup you should have
very little problems setting it up.



Good Luck, Brandon

  Subject: [Snort-users] Pass data thru Cisco Switch?


  I want to setup Snort inside my network, but I know if I do my
Cisco Catalyst 2900 switches won't pass the data I need. How do I
configure the Cisco switches to pass the data thru to the IDS system?
  thanks,
  Carlton.
