Hi,
I have to sniff the traffic from the outside interface of a remote-site router, 2801. The router has only 2 Fa ports, and they are currently occupied: one for connecting to the service provide and the other, connecting to the office LAN.
In the documentation, I've read that SPAN can be configured on 2800 only if ethernet switch module is installed.
How could I sniff the traffic on the fa0/1 (to service provider) interface with Ethereal? Is it possible at all?
Regards,
Mladen

You would have to place a HUB between fa0/1 and the connection to the ISP.

It is quite diffucult to find a hub theese days...
I considered this option, but as a last resort solution :).
Thanks,

You could try a debug and dump it out to SYSLOG but thats pretty dangerous. Hubs are readily available, but usually only with 10MB. You could also look at using a network TAP.
