almost... Cisco calls this a SPAN port.
This document might help you:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/41.html

Found by typing "monitor"+"catalyst"+"port"+"cisco" into google.com

There you can see how to configure a span port that monitors all the
traffic of _one_ switch. But on the right switch, this should be
enough. If you want more than one switch to be monitored, you should
place more sensors, one per switch, with a central server.
Anything else would not work smoothly, since IDS performance is...

...a topic for another thread.

Regards,

Doc.
