Maybe this is a good way to lock down that specific switchport to the mac address you specified with the static cam entry. That way no other computers can use that port. Because this port should only be used only for the sniffer. I'm throwing this in the air guys.

The only thing that I can think of is that using CAM you might be
able to lock down traffic such that it doesn't impact anything except the
source and destination stations. It would be a good solution to a layer-two
only switch where a lot of traffic came in the source port, and you wanted
to avoid it from impacting the other stations on the switch. Perhaps, a
heavy-duty multicast or broadcast could be contained that way. Anyone know
how to do this?

The question of using CAM and SPAN together was posed some time ago,
and I don't think that there was a good answer at the time. Does anyone
have a good answer now? Just can't seem to understand why you should
statically set CAM Macs when using SPAN as some have recommended. Thanks in
advance.
