Hi all,

Need advice here....

Lets say I have a scenario where all the servers in DMZ that are
connected to a gigabit switch. The GE switch is connected to a Firewall
GE port. I want to monitor the traffic between goes to the DMZ. So
placing a GE NS7.0 will be the solutions. 

But, I'm not sure how the deployment will be. First, I don't think Port
mirror a GE switch will work since the traffic will be extremely high.
Placing a HUB between the Firewall and GE switch won't solve the issue
also because the I don't think the HUB can handle so huge traffic flows.

So, the other solution that I can think of is to use the GE network Taps
to taps the traffic.

Now the questions, if using Taps, is that mean need to have 2 GE NIC on
the NS for monitoring the TX and RX, I 100Mbs NIC to connect to the
secure LAN where the console is and 1 more GE NIC to send the kill.

Will this idea work? May be some of u guy has better idea?

Thanks....
