I know that. But Cisco routers are very expensive. I was looking
for cheaper solutions. My first desing used a Layer3 switch, but
then I changed my mind (because of an impossibility for my
netscreen border router to define more than two zones), and used a
cheaper design (but I think that also less secure and manageable)
with no Layer3 switch, but two Layer2 ones. Do you know any cheap
Layer2 or Layer3 switch with mirror ports?
Look at Foundry Networks, http://www.foundrynet.com. They have
layer-2/3 devices that do port mirroring. Also, most of their
products when compared to appropriate Cisco products have similar
features but at a fraction of the price.
Hope this helps,
