Only traffic that actually crosses the mirrored port, though, right? Broadcast /multicast traffic for the VLAN as well as traffic directed to ports on the switch doing mirroring that are in VLAN 1. I got the impression he thought he was going to see traffic on other switches that happened to have ports in VLAN 1 too. I doubt that's true. Think of all the extra work you would be requiring of the switches.
