If by "open" you mean that your Ethernet 1 port is not currently in use,
then there aren't any packets coming and going on it. You wouldn't see
anything on the port. I guess you could configure it for bridging and then
you would at least see broadcasts, but that seems like a silly idea.
It sounds like you're wishing for something like a SPAN port. Keep in mind
that SPAN is for switching, not routing.
Your best bet might be to install a hub between your switch and router.
Connect the switch, router, and Sniffer to the hub and you'll see lots of
good stuff. (I'm assuming your switch is directly connected to your router??)
Hope that makes sense. Without more knowledge of your topology it's hard to
make any other suggestions.
