to be honest... this is how we operate... Hubs are much less likely to fail that switches. I mean...really...the only thing that could fry is the power supply... :)
I can't believe the 2948 l3 does not support port monitoring... that's insane...That needs to be a support call. That is rediculous... We have had our 100mb hub in place now for 3 yrs..... so I wouldn't worry about it failing... (I mean, it only has to be a little 4-5 port 100mb hub to connect your internet router and your firewall to.... And maybe another one for however many dmz's you have. -Patrick >>> "sam sneed" 05/20/02 01:51PM >>> I've thought of putting it on a hub but its a production network and I don't want to add another point of failure. If something happened to the hub it would bring the whole network down.
