Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Using with a switch

[HBooGz <hboogz@xxxxxxxxx>]

so if you were to setup wireshark on a machine, i would need two NIC's on the machine that has wireshark running and have each NIC connecting to a respective port on the 3com 5xxx switch.

one port would be setup as the monitor port and one setup as the mirror-port --- how was your 3com setup look like ?

Thanks,

FYI,
3Com 4xxx line names this as Feature->Roving analysis.
3Com 5xxx line uses terms Monitor port for ports to which you connect your sniffer and Mirroring-port for ports that send data to monitor port.
