Ameen,
We've had very good success using Brocade MLX's for this very thing
(actually, might be older XMRs, but should be same platform at this point).
Check out the transparent-hw-flooding command under a VLAN. It basically
turns off mac learning, and just floods it on the vlan's member ports.

Hello All,
We are looking for a switch or a device that we can use for mirroring tap
ports. For example , take a mirror port off of a core router say
from Sprint!

Hello All,
We are looking for a switch or a device that we can use for mirroring tap
ports. For example
Take a look at VACLs on the Cat side. It has a capture feature that is
effectively the same as a local SPAN, but without the 2 session limit. If
you do a lot of RSPAN though, this wouldn't be your complete answer (VACL
captures are local only). VACLs are a bit more granular in defining what's
Echoing what Terry said... we use gigamon devices for this too.

Hi Ameen,
Wouldn#39;t it work to have a switch aggregating your monitor sessions just
disable MAC learning? Traffic from a single input interface would be
replicated to all other ports on the vlan where learning is disabled.
I#39;ve used this with a 3750, and I haven#39;t seen any trouble

No the issue isnt monitoring many ports at once, its having more then 1
set of monitoring or 2
I believe MRV's Media Cross Connects will do this.

No the issue isnt monitoring many ports at once, its having more then 1
set of monitoring or 2 sets in the 6500 case. So I am monitoring say
port channel 1 to ports 1 2 3 4, and port channel 2 , ports 4 5 6
How about splitting up a heavy stream (10G) into components (1G) to run through
an
inline device and reassemble the pieces back to an aggregate afterward?
TippingPoint makes a core controller box for this but it's pretty hideously
expensive.
Could do it with two 6500s but that's pretty
Gigamon has a new product offering that claims to do this (their sales
guys just met with me a few days ago and gave me a update on their
latest offerings).
It's the G-Secure-something or other.
We're using the 2404's so I don't have any experience with it.
Cheers,

We're doing something similar - VACLs (using the redirect action) with
port-channel destinations on a span aggregation 650x. If you've got a
spare 650x chassis lying around and your configuration requirements
aren't terribly complex/dynamic, you can do monitoring with filtering
and load-balancing

Sounds like a perfect job for a commodity switch that
