    Unamaged Switch - monitoring?

    Is there a way to use a packet sniffer on an unmanaged switch? Our Sonicwall firewall is getting maxed-out periodically with 2048 connections and we suspect a bad NIC on the network somewhere. Normally I would just set-up a monitoring port on our managed switch but this company doesn't have that luxury.

    I came across the term "arp poisioning" while researching this. Sounds dangerous! I'll check it out.
