G+_er ic Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 I use a tp-link giga switch (sem-smart 8 port) that I got for $25 TL-SG108E instead of a tap. I say semi-smart, because it's a managed switch, but doesn't have all the features one might want. I only wanted mirroring, so I'm pleased with this device. It lets me mirror either side or both of all the other 7 ports onto a chosen mirror port. So far it seems to be able to keep up, even when I set it to mirror all the other ports. And while it is mirroring, I can still use the mirroring port for other use, such as googling something. I had a cisco managed switch before this one and it didn't even let me monitor more than one port at a time, and it was a $90 switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
