802.1q for packet filtering Vicky 04-04-2005

Just wondering if it is possible to use 802.1q aware nic (support vlan
tagging) on a packet filtering box to monitor traffic off multiple vlan
domains as opposed to having SPAN enabled on a switch?

Any pointers will be appreciated.

Not really.

When you use 802.1Q, you are almost always using switching -- you
are just confining the list of places that might be switched to.
But the switching still occurs.

Thus, if you have vlan #217 going to ports #27 and 31
and if you add vlan #217 to port #47 for the purpose of using
port #47 to monitor traffic over ports #27 and 31, then you run
into the problem that -all- you will get on #47 would be broadcast
and flooded traffic: any traffic that comes in over #27 that the
switch knows the MAC is on #31 is going to go directly to #31 without
a copy of it being copied to #47.

If you want to monitor switched traffic involving multiple ports,
you pretty much have to SPAN (or RSPAN) the traffic.

hmm..I thought since 802.1q nic is running in trunk mode and I even
have promiscious mode enabled on the nic, I should be able to sniff
traffic from these vlans?
