Obviously the port monitoring is incorrect. Cisco does a great job of being inconsistent across their product line (but don't tell that to the layer 3 guys - most insist Cisco can do no wrong as an article of faith). Here's a link that should help: http://books.google.com/books?id=77h9SA94kasC&pg=PA328&lpg=PA328&dq=port+monitor+cisco+3560&source=web&ots=ZK2JCo6gfB&sig=r8_mVVz8aNciDd4cpvNYlKcuLdY

I have the following configuration set up on my Cisco 3560 switch. monitor session 1 source interface Gi0/21 (Windows XP Desktop) monitor session 1 destination interface Gi0/22 (Windows XP Laptop w/Wireshark application) I start a capture, selecting the interface connected to the switch. The capture returns traffic, but all that I'm seeing is what appears to be mostly ARP, Broadcast, DNS Queries and some UDP traffic (all expected). What I'm not seeing is the TCP STREAMS.....I can see some TCP traffic but not the entire stream....so I can't follow any of them. For example, I've been trying to uncover an issue with IMAP mail clients having "network disconnects" to a remote server. When I do anything in my mail all I see is Echo traffic and Source = "localhost" and destination is shown as the system on which my mail client resides. Why can't I see the traffic across the switch like I'm expecting to? Do I have something misconfigured. I haven't done this too often but I though I had once before and saw all of the traffic as normal. Please help.
