 Hi, 

  I've been given the task of finding the source of excessive runts on a 
particular area on our switched backbone network. I can see the runts only 
when I check the statistics on the port that connects the hub stack to the 
switch, nowhere else.
 
  The runts appear to be coming from the switch out to the stack of hubs, so 
how  do I get ethereal to capture the runts at the hub end, and would the 
capture enable me to see where the runts are coming from?

  I'm sorry if all this seems vague, but I'm only a dumb techie.

  Any and all help greatly appreciated.


  Cheers,

    Mal.
