What's the need for a separate box? No problem Sir. I just want to split the Monitoring-function from the Packet-Forwarding function. I just don't want a fail of one function savere the other. I never mix complex function in a single box, unless they need tobe. my small corporate network is build from a bunch of used classic pentium class PC, with small RAM .. and WISP-Dist in it. Let's say that the network is in a peak state ... super high traffic. It will eat more CPU of the monitoring function. I don't want this to kick-down the packet-forward function. That why I put it in another box. Sincerely -bino-
