The one that use to be made by Network General, now owned by Network Associates are the best ones you can get IMHO. I have used the Ethernet, Token-Ring, Internetwork, and ATM sniffers and the are all great. They have to models, you can have them in a notebook for portable sniffing or you can get Distributed sniffers that sit on your network and you can remotely control when and what you want to capture.
You may want the mark them after installing them in your wiring closets. A phone SE cleaned a wiring closet out and thought one was an old PC someone dropped off and through it out. They start at about $10,000 and go up to $35,000 for the ATM version. Here's is the link: http://www.sniffer.com/ Another one that I hear a lot about is EtherPeek, worth looking into.

Anyone have any suggestions and approximate prices? Thanks.
