You'd have to either

	run Ethereal, or Tethereal, or tcpdump, or snoop, or Sniffer
	software, or Microsoft Network Monitor, or some other packet
	capture program, on a machine attached to one of the other hubs
	or switches

or

	*if* the hub or switch supports RMON and packet capture using
	RMON, find some program that can use RMON to capture packets on
	a remote device (I think there are such programs, but don't know
	what they are) and capture traffic on the hub or switch itself.
