    Hi Dave,

    I use TAPs from networkcritical.co.uk, come in Copper/Fibre varieties
    and various packinging types. They even do an aggregate TAP which is ok
    for low bandwidth connections (instead of two monitor ports, they are
    combined into one, saves on load balancing). Nice thing about this
    company is that the TAPs are designed for IDS purposes, the multiport
    ones have proper power supplies, not the external transformer types
    found with Finisar.

    Rgds,

    Simon

    Any recommendations on specific Ethernet TAP's for sniffing switches?
