A5: If you can't or don't want to configure a management port for your switch, there are still several alternatives available.

Gateway: If possible please load the sniffed program on your special PC like your Internet gateway, proxy server or router. Any packet data will pass through the gateway, then the sniffed program can capture them.

ARP: Make some fake ARP packet and send it to your network to cheat your switch, then switch will forward net packet to other computers to your computer. But it is an inefficient and dangerous way.

HUB: Replace your switch with a common hub. If your Internet bandwidth is less than 5M (bps), downgrading will not have any negative impact on your Internet access.
