Connecting a sniffer to the network 1

[jrogerom]

Hi, I want to connect a sniffer computer to the network, so I can see what's everybody accesing. I have a 2Mb Internet clear channel and sometimes is very slow.
I have a 2950 Catalyst Switch, Version 12.1(19)EA1c
that is connected to the Internet router.
What kind of config should I do to the port that will be assigned to the sniffer?
Somebody told me something about mirror port but I don`t know how to configure it. If there is another better way to
configure it please let me know.

Thanks.
Roger
