if by 'not in monitor mode' you mean by not logging into the switch and mirroring all the ports to your port. which would be the ideal way, you could do arp spoofing and set yourself as the gateway or some other man in the middle attacks.

Hey all, This may come off as somewhat of a newbie question, but it's one I've been curious about. When you are doing any sort of pen testing or sniffing on the wire, how do you handle a managed switch scenario. If you're connected to a switch on one port, how can you monitor the traffic on the the other ports if you're not in a monitor mode? I've never understood how you can sniff traffic other than the traffic from your machine to a destination. Thanks ahead of time, Tom
