is there a way to sniff all network traffic on an AP similar to SPAN on a switch?

Here's a couple of good reads for you:

@hell_razor - that's the response I started to lead with, but I think he's looking to sniff the wired ports and traffic, too.  IE - not just broadcast traffic and such on the wireless, but BOTH wireless and wired clients, such that directed, wired ip traffic (host ip to host ip on wired side) are also seen.

Then again, maybe I DOUBLE mis-interpreted, and you're correct in what he wanted, in which case... DOH! 

Either way, hopefully we gave him what he wanted.

thanks for all the feedback.

it is an abstract question. I set up a span port on my switch to monitor traffic. the config on my switch will send all traffic since the AP is connected to a switch.

this is all really just for fun anyway.

it got me wondering if there was a way to send the same thing over the air to my laptop. I realize that in an actual production environment that is really stupid. this is purely just for fun at home with my lab

i'll keep playing around. another thing I thought was set an AP up on the SPAN port of the switch although I dont really see how that will work. I might try configuring the AP as a repeater so perhaps the traffic will get broadcast.
