I generally just use set span "source vlan" mod/port# and then plug your
sniffer in.
I have several switches with 200 users (10/100rj45) and 300 users (rj21)
and receive no significant hit.
You can use ps -c to check switch performance.
Don't use the set span enable. Everytime I tried this, the switch needs to
be rebooted. I haven't figured out why yet.

Was wondering if anyone had any performance problems
on a Cat5500 after setting up a span port to span a vlan
with about 100 machines attached. Are there any issues
I should be aware of before doing this? the set span
command has a variable I am unsure about.
rx|tx|both can someone explain to me what these
three options mean.obviously its receive/transmit/both
but maybe if I knew what those meant in terms of hte
difference between the Span port and the rest of the
ports actually, any generic information about span
ports is much appreciated!
