Port Mirroring to monitor VoIP Traffic
I have a unique problem....My Traffic is being port mirrored from my Network Switch to 2 probes..(Same data to both Probes)...
Probe1 can only handle upto half a Gig of traffic while probe2 is scalable to upto 2 Gig.
Due to port mirror limitation of Cisco I have to use the same Port Span session for both Probes... Today I am only port mirroring SIP traffic and no RTP as that would overwhelm Probe1.
I am thinking of a solution to put an intelligent but Cheaper switch in between the NEtwork Switch and the 2 Probes..that would do the filtering and segreegation for me. Are there any under ~50K switches that can receive about upto 2Gig of traffic and mirror only SIP to Probe1 and SIP and RTP (Essentially the stream as is) to Probe2.
