Although it's worth pointing out that being more secure is not the
main point of a switched network ;) Trying to get access to mirror
ports is another great reason to make sure you have a very good
relationship with your network department, but if all else fails the
hub thing is easier (if you can afford to unplug your server and plug
it into a hub).
