Subject: [Wireshark-users] Looking for a portable
sniffing-friendlyhub/switch
During my following web search, i stumbled upon the Netgear GS105E:
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/PlusSwitches/GS105E.aspx
which seems to be the perfect fit in terms of size/prize/functions.
It is in fact a mini-switch that can do port-mirroring according to the
specs.
The question i have is if anybody already tested this device and can
confirm the port mirroring capabilities. Especially i wanted to know if it
is possible to mirror outbound only, so as not to disturb the host
network.
Lars,
You have found a really nice switch. I had done the same searching as you
have and ended up with a real hub which does the job for hobby type of
sniffing. But in a production environment a switch is much better.
I'm also interested to hear from people who have used it. Please let us know
how it does the job if you might buy one.
Dave
