Self correction: that's the FS726T.. the FSM would work too, but costs more. The
FS series is what I'd call a "semi-managed" switch, with slightly limited
features and web-interface-only management.

The FSM supports telnet and serial login, as well as a broader range of
management features more typical of a managed switch. But it costs a bit more at
about $270.

Both support port mirroring, which is what you need.

(Note: I'm not necessarily recommending you buy from CDW, it's just one place I
know that stocks these products so you can compare features/price.)
