Title: Message
Hello,
 
I have been trying to capture SPAN forwarded traffic with Ethereal to no avail (I actually see LESS traffic when I am capturing on a SPAN destination port than when I am just watching normal broadcasts, etc., in operational mode on a Catalyst 2950).  I am quite certain that I have configured the switch appropriately, but I am completely new to Ethereal and haven't seen any documentation relating to this subject.  I am capturing on a Compaq/WinXP system with Ethereal 0.9.6 & WinPCap 2.3.
 
Has anyone successfully worked with Cisco's SPAN feature and Ethereal?  Thanks for any tips!
