[Os-sim-support] sniffing a mirrored port

[Brian L. <br...@br...>]

I configured a switch so that it mirrors traffic onto a port. I
connected a cable from that port to an ethernet interface on a system
for monitoring, but I can't see anything with tcpdump. Do I need to
ifconfig the interface with something like 0.0.0.0? I see that when I
run tcpdump the interface goes into promiscuous mode, but I don't see
any traffic. The light on the switch is blinking too at the same rate
as the port it is mirroring. Any tips?
