Can anyone recommend a small switch (say 8 ports, reasonably priced) with the following properties: - Gigabit - Port Mirroring (at least 3 sets of 2 port mirrors) - SNMP (for bandwidth monitoring) - Management (SSH or Web is fine especially if SNMP is available as well). - Native IPv6 (nice to have, since my env is fully dual-stack)
Starting from least feature-packed to most (all have Gb + web mgmt at minimum):
gives you Gb, port-mirror (probably 1-1 or n-1) TP-Link TL-SG108E ~$50-$65 http://www.tp-link.com.au/products/details/cat-41_TL-SG108E.html#overview
above, plus adds SNMP, mirror is n-1 only: Netgear GS108T-200NAS ~$90-$110 http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/datasheet/en/GS108Tv2.pdf
above, plus adds IPv6, mirror is still only 1-1/n-1 DLink DGS-1210-10P ~$120-150 http://us.dlink.com/products/business-solutions/10-port-gigabit-web-smart-po...
above, plus *might* add multi-set mirroring: "Port mirroring provides the capability of mirroring four source ports to improve network traffic monitoring and troubleshooting", but this quote was from a 3rd party site, and the vendor site doesn't specify Dell 2808 ~$170-220 https://www.shi.com/Products/ProductDetail.aspx?SHISystemID=SHICommodity&...
*maybe* gives you multi-set mirroring? TP-Link TL-SG3210 $200-$210 (see interface, might allow setting per "mirroring" port?) http://www.tp-link.com/us/faq-526.html
I think this can do 4-set mirroring! Engenius EGS5212FP $300-$400 https://www.engeniustech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/EnGenius_L2_Switch_C...
So there's the cheapest that does all you want, and it's not cheap! Interesting that that's the first one with a CLI interface.
If you want one, they are in distie stock and I can drop-ship to your location cheaper than the prices I just checked at the big e-guys. Email me off-list.
ones) where MAC address per-port assignment was horribly broken (same MAC applied to all ports in MGMT & SNMP interfaces).
Sounds like a one-off problem, doubt that's the case on all their switch lines.
I may end up just going fully managed (for device location hunting) but could use some product suggestions from the above described scenario.
Looks like only fully-managed (CLI) switches can do the advanced stuff you need. Funny that the stumbling block is the mirror thing.
