Switch configurationI know on our Cisco switches and the HP Switches you can choose to monitor all traffic from/to a specific port, multiple ports, or the whole switch...

It will pass everything.. Making it Idea for a IDS

  I think what you are referring to is also known as the Out-of-Band Management port as well. Although I am not clear on his question, I don't think that type of port will work. It is only good for SNMP, Telnet, ICMP, RMON...etc...mainly statistics and management type of thing. It does not participate in routing or switching activities.
   
  I personally am not familiar with a spamming port on any switch. If you could be a little more specific, I could probably help more.

  Take care,
  Chris

    You mean a Management Port?

    one where all traffic is sent to it right...

    don't know, but I do know the Cisco's and HP's call it a Management port... might help when looking for Documentation.
