• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    L3 Core switch VLAN traffic monitoring with IPS

    A small doubt ... The IPS can do VLAN translation. If the 3 VLANs are on the same switch, cant I connect the IPS also on to the same switch to monitor the traffic. Like making another 3 VLANs. For example the original VLANs are 1,2 and 3 and the new ones are 101,102 and 103. I can make the VLAN...

    L3 Core switch VLAN traffic monitoring with IPS

    All the VLANs are assigned to single ports in the core switch. Each VLAN port is then connected to resp switches. I just need to monitor traffic inbound and outbound to 3 VLAN ports in the same core switch. The IPS supports VLAN tags and translation. I am limited to using a single port on the...

    There are 10-20 VLANs created in the L3 HP switch with inter-VLAN routing. 3 server farms and the remaining are user VLANs. We need to view the traffic coming to these 3 server VLANs using an external IPS. Sorry for not having a network diagram at hand.:( Since all the VLANs are in the same...

    Can you tell me more about the option on how can I go about using IPS and VLAN tagging option without the additional router? Just also wanted to clarify, how can I go about setting up seperate access ports for VLAN 1-3 to remove the tags leaving the core switch. Can I isolate these 3 VLANs...

    L3 Core switch VLAN traffic monitoring with IPS

    I can only place the IPS Inline and all the VLANs are already configured (each VLAN to a single port) on the same layer 3 core switch. A newbie thought, can I configure the two groups of VLANs so that they communicate with each other over a pair of trunk ports. I can then place the IPS between...

    L3 Core switch VLAN traffic monitoring with IPS

    Yeah it is IPS but will only monitor without taking any action. The VLANs are configured on a layer 3 switch. Now we need to monitor the traffic passing between one group of VLANs to another group of VLAN in the same layer 3 switch.

    L3 Core switch VLAN traffic monitoring with IPS

    Hello all, I have a L3 core switch with multiple VLANs setup. Is there a way to place an IPS so as to monitor the traffic passing between, lets say, VLANS 1-3 and VLANs 4-10? Thanks in advance.

    Monitoring Encrypted traffic

    Just one more thing bout the SSH proxy, i came across FileGate SFP and Shell Control Box. Do they block malicious traffic or prevent brute force attacks? Or is it more advisable to have a host based IPS/IDS on the SFTP?
