Sun Gigabit cards

[Neil Long]

Hi

We moved up in speed and the only way to have any kind of monitor was
to use a Sun ge card in an Ultra-10 however even with a Shomiti tap I
am now only able to see half the traffic. The Shomiti converts the TX,
RX to 2 RX but the Sun card is only listeningo the RX fibre.

has anyone already gone through this and found a way to 'listen' on the
TX port of the ge interface so that both direction sof the flows can be
used by argus?

Don't suppose there is any neat trick simply by using ndd -set /dev/ge
?

Anyone doing GE on Linux/FreeBSD without having to use 2 cards?

I am trying to avoid having to use an 'analyser' port on the router for
performance reasons.

Cheers
Neil
