hubs vs switches

[YANG YINAN]

Hi, 

I'm just wondering Why IDS equipment must be connected to a hub and cannot
be connected to a switch?

My understanding of IDS is working at Network layer, so what's
differences of using a hub or a switch with IDS in a FW environment?

Can anyone point me to a right direction?

Cheers

YY
