DIY network tap - 17/04/2010 11:29
Has anyone built a network tap ?
I tried using this plan http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-a-Passive-Network-Tap/ . It basically tells you to wire three ethernet jacks in parallel and does not work at all.
I also tried this way http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/passive_ethernet_tap.jsp but with only the tap A. With this I only see incoming traffic.
So with three ports can I make something that will show incoming and outgoing traffic ? How is a passive hub different ?
