I am looking recommendations for a switch that will allow you to access the mirroring or destination port from over the LAN.
As background, I recently purchased an HP-1820 switch to supplement my HP-1800 switches. Unfortunately, much to my unhappiness, the HP-1820 does not do port mirroring the same way as the HP-1800 does.
With the HP 1800 (no longer available) you can shell into a headless Linux box hung on the destination or mirroring port and use tcpdump for monitoring the mirrored port(s). With the new HP 1820, the manufacturer locks or isolates the mirroring port so you cannot access it from the LAN. I am looking for a unit that does port mirroring the way the HP1800 does.
