Integration of an IDS-workstation
My LAN is made up of wirelLss and cable connected workstations which
connect through a WLAN router/switch (D-Link DI-614+) and an DSl-modem to the Internet. Now I want to add a wireless IDS-workstation immediately after the router in order to scan the whole WAN traffic for possible hack attacks which have passed the router's firewall. Obviously I have to replace my router/switch by a simple router to get access to all WAN packages before they are being switched to their destination workstations. Then I need to replicate the packages by means of a hub, and connect to it the IDS-workstation amd a switch for the other workstations. So a rough configuration would look like DSL-modem --- router --- hub --- switch --- LAN ' ' IDS-Workstation There are some open questions for me: 1. Where to connect the wireless workstations to? E. g. if I connect them to the router, do I see their WAN traffic on the IDS-workstation? 2. How to connect the IDS-workstation to the hub? To normal hubs you connect via cable to one of its ports. So do I have to connect an access point to the hub and the IDS-workstation to that access point? 3, I must invest in a router and a hub, But can I make use of my existing WLAN router/switch, either as pure switch for the LAN or access point for the IDS-workstation? Many thanks in advance for any help. Best regards Eckhardt Newger Eckhardt Newger |
