I work for a public university in a very poor state, so we don't have the largest budget available to us. Thus we tend to do things on the cheap. Currently we have 2 10Gbps links providing us connectivity to the outside world. This is monitored by a Bro IDS cluster that is fed from a Pluribus switch that is doing load balancing off of the 2 tapped links. Well, the heaven's have opened up and the powers that be have allowed the stat to award an ISP the opportunity to provide all of the Universities in the state with 2x100Gbps links. Well now that poses a problem to our Bro cluster. How do we catch the 4x100Gbps links that you get from tapping 2x100Gbps links. Since this would be out of our budget and not the magic fairy budget providing the Internet connectivity, we need to keep things as cheap as possible. Now to my question. what recommendations do any of y'all have for cheap 100Gbps switches? Needs a minimum of 4 ports to catch the taps. Thanks!
