See

for information on port monitoring/port mirroring/SPAN/Roving Analysis Port/whatever a particular switch vendor calls it.

(If anybody reading that page or one of the pages it links to knows how to configuring that feature on a model of switch not listed there, they should update the page - it's a Wiki, so anybody can edit it. If a switch vendor isn't listed there, you'd have to create a link to the page for it, and then create the page.)
