Thread: setting up an IDS..

    Taps are the way to go, if you can afford em.

    I've also tried dumb things like using a box as a router and snort on that box, created a bridge from a linux box and run snort on it.

    Hub are cheap and easy, but Taps are great if your budget will allow it.

    Port mirroring is nice, some switch will actually dump off pcap info that you can run thru snort as well. I don't have access to a Catalyst to check on it, but Nortel Passports have the option for sure.
