Info about the 3348's problems: http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=pc_managed&message.id=1425
I was referring to the reply from the Moderator Randy (2nd post) and not the original poster you mention. The Moderator mentions "The switch's architecture has ports 1-24 and gigabit port 1 on 1 ASIC, while ports 25-48 and gigabit port 2 are on the other. Because of this architecture, you are unable to mirror between ASICs, e.g. port 1 to port 48." He also mentions a hardware chipset limitation that only affects the Dell 33xx series regarding mirroring of ports that are part of a 802.1Q VLAN.The guy who posted the message in the Dell forum you linked above sounds like he has no idea what he's doing. It's not possible to use a switch port mirroring function to monitor a switch without a strong knowlege of network configuration. The fact that he's getting only packets bearing the IP address of the other NIC in his XP box doesn't lend me to believe he has that knowlege.
