Check this URL for a low cost switch used for port mirroring.
http://www.dual-comm.com/OnlineShop.htm
Model DCGS-2005 (Gb) or DCSW-1005 (100 Mb)
Or
http://www.netgear.com/products/business/switches/prosafe-plus-switches/gs105e.aspx
Note: Feedback online suggests getting the Dual-Comm unit instead of the NetGear as the NetGear has some quirks regarding configuration setup that can impact port mirroring effectiveness.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi,
If you read the link, you will see that you need either more equipment or read up on doing MITMA or Macflooding.
My suggestion is to get a switch that actually supports Monitor/SPAN, its the easiest way to do the job and get a quite good result.
How to then setup the switch, depends on the switch you use.
Best Regards
Pedro Tumusok
