Excellent advice. He sent the same question to my private unicast address
and I ignored it. ;-) But I will answer questions to the collective.

I have also run into surprising results with port monitoring on a 1900. I
don't always see all the traffic I expect to see. I think we discussed this
before and it might be in the archives.

I discovered that some Cisco switches disable the forwarding of unknown
(flooded) unicast traffic and unregistered multicast traffic to the monitor
port. The goal is to protect the network from problems associated with this
traffic exiting an additional port. Check to see if the 1900 switch
automatically added the "port block unicast" and "port block multicast"
commands to the monitor port. This can make troubleshooting difficult.

I don't think you can get it not to do this. The workaround is to use a
higher-end switch.
