Two or more honeypots on a network form a ''honey net''. Typically, a honey net is used for monitoring a larger and/or more diverse network in which one honeypot may not be sufficient. Honey nets and honeypots are usually implemented as parts of larger [[network intrusion detection system]]s. A ''honey farm'' is a centralized collection of honeypots and analysis tools.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.reouterhelpsupport.com/cisco-customer-service.php |title=cisco router Customer support |publisher=Clarkconnect.com |access-date=2015-07-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170116043827/http://www.reouterhelpsupport.com/cisco-customer-service.php |archive-date=2017-01-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

The concept of the honey net first began in 1999 when Lance Spitzner, founder of the [[Honeynet Project]], published the paper "To Build a Honeypot".<ref>{{cite web|title=Know Your Enemy: GenII Honey Nets Easier to deploy, harder to detect, safer to maintain.|url=http://old.honeynet.org/papers/gen2/|date=12 May 2005|work=Honeynet Project|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090125224729/http://old.honeynet.org/papers/gen2/|archive-date=25 January 2009|access-date=14 June 2013}}</ref>
