SPAN and RSPAN implementation

[wmostafa]

i have in my network two 4006 backbone switches and multiple 3500 XL access switches , with each 3500 access switch connected by two fiber giga uplinks to the backbones. I have different eight vlans configured through my campus.

i want to use only one sniffer connected at one cat 4006 switch to monitor the traffic from all the vlans ..

i know how i would do it on the two 4006 backbones ( using RSPAN) but what would i do for the other 3500 xl access switches ... ?

any help ???
