It seems that the original question was misleading.

I believe that the originator of this question was
asking what commands can he use on 3550 to SPAN ports
with sniffer. The answer would be "session
monitor...."

All ideas I have seen look good but not answering the
question. The question was very simple and it seems
most are complicating it.
