The BayStack 350T supports port mirroring (I think Bay calls it "conversation steering"). You should be able to configure a monitor port which contains combined traffic from up to two other ports (depending on port load, obviously). If you can't see the menu option to set it up, check you've got a recent firmware image. I've done this lots of times - and it's definitely less hassle than messing about with hubs, since I don't have to leave my desk :) Joe -- Joe Abley Tel +64 9 912-4065, Fax +64 9 912-5008 Network Architect, CLEAR Communications Ltd http://www.clear.net.nz/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
