In the new book I keep it very simple. I prefer Net Optics taps because they are enterprise-grade and resilient. If your cheap managed switch fails the whole network goes down. I've never had a Net Optics tap fail. Also, if the power dies the tap will still pass traffic.

I'm excited to see that you devote time to physically gaining access to network traffic, given all of the possibilities: network taps, port mirroring, hubs, etc. I'm currently using a cheap managed switch (a Netgear GS108T) to monitor my home network via configurable port mirroring, and it seems to be working pretty well. You mention that you use a Net Optics Dual Port Aggregator Tap, which, according to my quick research, is a good deal more expensive than several other options for traffic monitoring; any particular reason you went this route?<br />AlexiAlexihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540909492664105353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-28655251793326607072013-03-02T13:47:17.947-05:002013-03-02T13:47:17.947-05:00Roger that, Anonymous.

I spent more hours than I can count research ESXi-compatible consumer grade hardware to build my VM server on. Finally settled on a Core i7, Seagate 2TB desktop drives, and a VT-d/VT-x capable ASRock motherboard loaded with 32GB of RAM. Probably less efficient than your build, but it's a pretty good all-around lab machine. Tinkertry.com has a lot of info on running enterprise VMWare products on consumer hardware.<br /><br />I think I'll investigate the Shuttle platform to replace my aging Dell Pentium IV hardware for my pfSense box.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4088979.post-35324318299593195712013-02-12T15:19:45.475-05:002013-02-12T15:19:45.475-05:00Excellent news!
