That's not entirely true. The ports are called span ports or monitor ports depending on the switch brand.
And depending on the capabilities of the switch you can monitor either one VLAN, several VLAN's or the entire switch. On some low-end switches you might only be able to monitor one VLAN though. Check with your vendor, or the website of your favourite switch maker for pricing and availability. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 22. november 2001 19:49 To: Marc Mc Guinness Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Multiple port mirroring? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- AFAIK, it is called port monitoring and port spanning on switches. You can monitor multiple ports, all the ports should be on the same VLAN though. On Mon, 19 Nov 2001 07:03:30 +0100, Marc Mc Guinness <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hello! > >Am Mittwoch, 14.
