How to best use IDSM in promiscuous mode?
Posted by Hoffa on September 20th, 2007


Hi folks

I need some input and ideas how to best set up my IDSM2 module.
Today I have the module set up to capture traffic from the 6513 using
SPAN in both directions and two different firewalled VLANs as sources.
The destination is data-port 1 on the IDSM. This setup is working fine
but I'm curious as how to best use the second data-port. Our 6513 runs
IOS 12.2(18)SXF3 and has a limit of only one SPAN session set up to
capture an entire VLAN in both directions.
My idea was to use the second data-port as SPAN destination for our
external/non-firewalled VLAN, but this isn't allowed.
Does anyone have or had a similar problem? Would using a VLAN access
list with data-port 2 as destination be an option or are the dual IDSM
interfaces mainly used for inline mode?

Regards
Fredrik Hofgren
