CSS 11050 Sniffer trace

[ostewart]

I'm trying to use a sniffer to capture traffic that is hitting my CSS and what services are requested/handled inside the CSS network. I have redundant CSS with 2 LAN switches (cat.2924XL) behind it. I'm running port monitor on all the internal connections (CSS, web servers, etc), but I'm not seeing any real user traffic inbound or outbound on these connections. All I'm seeing is broadcast traffic inside the network from the css and web servers. Any suggestion or document on this problem will be appreciated.

My assumption here is that you are seeing spoofed information from the CSS as the only way you will see incoming user data is from the outside network where the user comes in. Most often in troubleshooting the CSS we require back and front end traces to understand the traffic flow.
