We have three Cicso Catalyst 3750 switches that are stacked. The primary switch has a VLAN ( # 99 ) setup on it. The VLAN has our incoming internet connection. The LAN ports from the two redundant firewalls are routed back to the primary switch ( non VLAN ). The WAN ports on the firewalls are connected to the VLAN. There are three unused ports ( 46, 47 & 48 ) available on the VLAN. There are also a couple of available ports ( 36 & 38 ) on the primary switch that are not in the VLAN.
We want to connect a hardware device to one of the ports on the switch that monitors network traffic. Need to connect two ports on the hardware device. One for LAN/WAN traffic, and one for the SPAN port.
Question:
Which port would you setup as the LAN port ?
Which port would you setup as the SPAN port ?
What commands would we run to set this up ?
Thanks
