On systems with 'ifconfig', you should be able to do something like
# ifconfig en0 up
or something like that (the actual device name will depend on your
system). You will usually have to be root (or "privileged") to do
this.
Thanks Jusin. I am using Mac OS X, which supports ifconfig.
Basically I just need to be able to plug in to the switch and capture
packets. Is there any special config I need to set in order to
capture packets without having an IP?, or do I just have to have eth0
"up".
Just use 'ifconfig' as above (the device names can be discovered with
'ifconfig -a'). "eth0" is generally not one of the Mac OS X network
device names :-}.

Justin
