I believe what you want to do is called "mirroring", it is a typical
interface command for L2/3 switches (Cisco, Xtreme Networks, etc).

When you need to know (e.g. via Ethereal+Winpcap sniffing) what is going on
on switch port A, you just enable mirroring for port B and all the data
passing through port A goes also to port B.

G00d luck on your quest
