Can I use bridge mode instead of mirror mode in implementing E-Detective system?
E-Detective system supports Bridge Mode, Sniffer Mode and Mirror Mode of Operation. However, the most recommended Mode of Operation is by using Mirror Mode. Please take note that by using a Mirror Mode or Sniffer Mode, it would require a switch that has port-mirroring capability. A hub can be used as a replacement for port-mirroring capable switch as a hub broadcast traffic to all ports. For more details of different mode of operation, please refer to System Installation Guide and User Manual. For how to configure and setup port-mirroring in the smart/layer2/layer 3 switch, please refer to the switch Operating Manual.
