Hi,


This could be fun,

One port to capture all ports.  If the port is 100Meg Full Duplex going into your 
captur device and your capture device can deal with all the requests etc made of it.  
How many 100Meg ports could you indeed view at the same time.  My guess is not many.  
You would tend to lose quite a bit of data in your captures.

I would suggest putting a monitor on the ports connecting the servers, be aware that I 
am not going to capture all and start from there.  

Whilst you can setup 'span' to look at multiple ports be aware the port you are 
monitoring from still operates as one port.

the command
 
set span enable
       set span disable
       set span <src_mod/src_ports...> <dest_mod/dest_port>
                [rx|tx|both] [inpkts <enable|disable>]
       set span <src_vlan> <dest_mod/dest_port>
                [rx|tx|both] [inpkts <enable|disable>]

Most 'cat' codes provide help.  

eg/ set span ?<return> provided the above.

Just some ramblings from an 'old geezer'
