2948g-l3 is a layer 3 device and hence doesn't support layer 2 port mirror feature. You can connect the source port and sniffer in a hub and connect that port back into the switch.

Thanks for advice.

But in fact,all of the ports I used were needed to be mirrored.Then how can I do?

someone told me there is no other ways but use 2924 or others instead.

You can still use this hub to do it one at a time but if that is one of your main feature you use, then you have to look at 2950 switch or 35xx switches.
