You can span or mirror that port on the switch and capture all the inbound and outbound data arriving at that port,  without putting a CPU load on the target machine.

Subject: [Ethereal-users] Remote ethereal?

Hello,

I'm using ethereal on a system in order to trace a software malfunction.  However, ethereal significantly slows down the computer as it captures during the software's functions.  Otherwise though, it captures the needed data to find the problem.  Is there any way to either run ethereal on a remote machine on the same switch and capture the same data, or to make ethereal run in a less resource-intensive mode?

Thanks,
Andrew
