Port mirroring and Commtraffic software on 5324
Apparently the 5324 will only mirror a total of 4 ports? I am evaluating a piece of software called "Commtraffic" from Tamosoft but it can only see broadcast traffic from LAN clients, not all traffic from them. According to Tamosoft you "simply" mirror all your switches port traffic to a destination port that has a machine running Commtraffic and you can then collect all traffic info. I can see the same problem if I wanted to do data capture.
Is there any way, to get all ports on a 5324 to mirror over to a single port so that I can run traffic accounting software such as Commtraffic?

- Adam,What about the possibility of having a vlan that is used only for port mirroring.?The idea, is we could monitor a port in different buildings, if we had a source port that was a member of each of the vlans, that are the desitnation at each seperate switch.. Is that possible.

It is not possible to mirror all ports to a destination port, the maximum number of source ports that can be mirrored to a single destination port is 8.
