VoIP calls not seen unless I mirror them to a repeater hub?

Hello,

I have a VoIP generator that has two seperate ports for the call to establish and connect. I currently have a ports 0-3 (from the voip-gen) on a Cisco6506 (vlans 400-403) and ports 4-7 (from the voip gen) connected to a Cisco 4948 (vlans 400-403). However, I cannot see them unless I mirror them to a repeater hub? I'd like to be able to see them on the switch as a full call to analyze and test with.

See below configs...

c6506:
interface FastEthernet4/17
description NXT p0
switchport
switchport access vlan 400
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast trunk

interface FastEthernet4/19
description NXT p1

switchport access vlan 401
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast trunk

interface FastEthernet4/21
description NXT p2

switchport access vlan 402
switchport mode access
switchport nonegotiate
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast trunk

interface FastEthernet4/23
description NXT p3

c4948:
cisco4948-12.4#sh run int g1/23

interface GigabitEthernet1/25

1) After generating the voip traffic, I get the follwing (SRP-B) from the 6506, which I did not expect. any ideas why?

cisco6506#sh arp
Protocol Address Age (min) Hardware Addr Type Interface
Internet 2.2.2.5 - 0255.0255.0255 SRP-B (which is the phone IP on a /16)
Internet 2.2.3.5 - 0255.0255.0255 ARPA (which is the dest address on a /16)

2) I can only see the voip calls if I Mirror it to a repeater hub, which also doesn't make sense.
monitor session 1 source vlan 400 - 403 rx
monitor session 1 destination interface Gi2/15 >> repeater hub.

3) I've also tried mirroring to another switch vendor Alcatel-Lucent and also cannor see the voip calls/traffic.

This is a lab environment, so I can try just about anything.

Thanks!
