Switched Network
I was just handed this sweet switch, 32 mac addr table, one meg packet buffer....so on and so forth. I know switched networks were designed to increase speed, and the (moderatly) increased security was a side effect. Anyways this FS3208 Asante switch will fail open ( = broadcast all packets just like a hub) when flooded with random, invalid mac addr's. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a switch or manufacturer of switches that do not fail open. Or maybe a neat way to modify my switch?
Thanks a lot....
