Hi,
I need to capture traffic for a device on Switch-A. Currently, Switch-A connects to Switch-B, which connects to Switch-C.
My monitoring server is connected to Switch-C.
The links between these switches are trunk links (aggregated in some cases), with production VLANs on them.
My question is, if I want to add a 'remote-capture' VLAN to each switch, do I have to (or should I) have a separate trunk link to my production traffic?
I understand the risk of putting a load on the link, but we're talking about very small amounts of traffic here.
Thanks for your advice
