Hub
I'm looking to buy a hub for onsite network data capture.
Thing is, trying to find a hub is nigh on impossible, as the switch has well and truly taken over. I know I can get a managed switch, but I'm looking for a portable device and these managed jobbies are quite large, from what I can see anyway. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I have Googled this but, apart from a vague description of a Belkin 2 port thing, I've had no joy. Cheers Cadire |
Re: Hub
Wouldn't this hub at eBuyer do the trick?
Edit: Scratch that - I missed the rackable bit - more haste, less speed applies! What about e-bay? |
Re: Hub
Actually, that Netgear model looks just the ticket. I think the stackable feature just means one can stack them together.
I can't imagine why I didn't think of Ebay... a cheap chinese-made hub would be just the ticket! Thanks very much for the help. |
Re: Hub
You sure about that Netgear one? From the usage you're describing, >£300 seems a bit high!
I have the 8 port version of this Intel hub and never had any problems. Assuming the problem the seller refers to is the power supply you can pick up a suitable replacement from Maplin (I did when mine packed in anyways!) |
Re: Hub
My boss will be paying for the hub, so I'm not really that worried about the cost (I don't get to say that very often!).
I have been trawling through eBay, and have seen a few, including the one you link to. Cheers |
Re: Hub
Have a look at the LinkSys SLM2005 5-port 10/100/1000 Gigabit Smart Switch.
It's quite compact and costs less than £60, but supports port mirroring so should be good for traffic monitoring. |
Re: Hub
Oh good find!
That looks just the ticket. Cheers |
