You can sniff the scenario I mentioned by putting a sniffer "in-line"
between the Cisco Router ATM port and the ATM switch (using Internet
Advisor, Adtech,etc)

Subject: Re: [Ethereal-users] Capturing ATM traffic
If any one knows better please tell me im wrong...
If you have a physical link between just the two devices there is no way
(take that with a grain of salt i will explane later) fo you to sniff
that wire. What you need to do is use your debug tools in your cisco
ios. This will show you what traffic it sees and what its doing ...
The grain of salt part.. If you have these devices connected between via
a switch you can use the span command to see the traffic...
Since we are talking about traffic I will go off the subject just a
little. I found a GREAT tool that spoofs the mac address so switch
traffic will be push the traffic to my linux box and my linux box
forwards that to the real destination..
these replace the need for admins to have to trace down what switch port
a user is in and use the span command.

My point is that even though ethereal is a SUPER ... GREAT tool.. That
if you use other great gnu tools with it you just about do anything you
want...
