Hi Jan

have you thought about plugging in a IDSM-2 from Cisco in your Cat6509?
In an architecture you have this is the only way to do IPS on the backplane 
with wirespeed.

Remember:
A span-port only allows IDS and who wants to implement an ids in the year 2006?
And a span-port can only carry 1Gig. But the backplane througput of a cat6509 
should be more than a gig,

Betreff: IDS in a loadbalanced Network

Hi!

While searching for a matching IDS I encountered some problems.

Having a network structure with lots of seperate Vlans and/or 
DMZs networks, i am wondering what is the best way to place 
an IDS in a redundant L3Switch/router (C6506/7300) with HSRP 
and PortChannel Loadbalancing for Vlans. 
Is there a bestpractice how to place an ids in a vlan, using 
a span port on each of the devices (running in 
active/active), or is there a better solution?

Regards from Germany
