That is a good point. My traffic is light right now
so I might be able to use it until the traffic grows.

Performance is the biggest one. Port mirroring often
involves the CPU, and is really not built for scaling.
If your traffic levels are very low it may work fine.
Port mirroring is often a low priority task so if the
switch is busy

Hello everyone:
I was just reading an ntop guide and it mentioned
many switches have port mirroring.
According to what I am reading, the Cisco I am using
will copy all traffic to the mirror port. Then,
I can monitor what is going on from there.
That seems like a good way to do this.
