I'm currently in the market for a switch, minimum 24 ports. Based on the features I need, the Cisco 2924XL seemed like a good choice, plus I'm familiar withalmost all Cisco gear. However recent searches on eBay have turned up HP ProCurve 4000M switches ready to go with 40 ports for around $4-500, which is of course quite cheap for the port density I get out of it. My question, for anyone who has used them - can I create a span port on them like I can on the Ciscos, for something like an IDS application? Right now I have the IDS and firewall all on the same box, but down the road I'll want to separate those out so making a span port will be a necessity. Otherwise they seem like adequate switches, with VLAN capability and the rest of it.
