I'm not totally positive because I have never used the inpkts switch on a
monitor command...but I think he might have been referring to the sniffer
being able to send packets out... (say you are using a sniffer, not in
promiscuous mode, and you want to be able to do reverse lookups on ip
addresses sniffed)  good theory?   :)

We've setup span ports to monitor servers, etc and we never had to issue any
extra commands so that layer 3 (IP) worked properly. I'm "monitoring" a port
right now and the server attached to the port I'm s "monitoring" operates
just fine, IP broadcasts, ping, etc....
