Using a Sniffer with a SuperStack Switch 1

[egolds]

I have been haveing an issue with connections through our firewall..and need to monitor the connections but we have the firewall connected to a SuperStack II Switch making monitoring difficult. details in the following thread

http://www.tek-tips.com/gviewthread.cfm/lev2/5/lev3/60/pid/581/qid/423720

One of the pieces of advice is to configure one of the ports in the Switch to mirror the port of the firewall or to or a Span port or a Port Monitor. Are any of these options possible with a SuperStack II. And if so how?

Thanks in advance
