Hi all,

I want to implement a failover FW structure and a IDS too. So, the picture will be

                        |
                        |                Internet. Cat6 to main router
                 ------------
                | TAP       |  ----> IDS             
                 -----------
                  |           |
                  |           |
                FW1       FW2
                  |           |
                  |           |
                ------------------
                | Main switch  |
                ------------------
                         |
                Internal network

Obviously, the FW1 and FW2 redudancy is maded by CARP and dedicated NIC/wire.
My dumb question is

¿I need a TAP with 2 replication-ports (in relation to main traffic incoming port)? I'm thinking in the case that one FW fails, so I supose I need the main traffic arrives to the both FW. ¿Am I right?

If I'm right ¿what TAP provider do you advise to me (netoptics, comfract...)
