Re: snort setup

If you put a HUB in you'll knock your traffic down to Half-Duplex

Perhaps you could throw in a TAP:

Cisco Router ----| Network TAP|-----------------HUB------------------Switch
                                       |
                                       |
                                       |
                              Snort Sensor

Here's one company (of many) off the top of my head:
