Listen to spanport from another box

Hi, I've installed OpenBSD as a bridge to allow network monitoring for my network. So, I put 3 network cards inside the box. Two cards are actually part of the bridge. The third one is a spanport that takes all the traffic from the bridge. The purpose is to listen on the spanport from another
