I've read something about using an old non-switching hub attached to
your network and an old cpu, running snort. This way you should be
able to sniff all traffic. Dunno much more about it tho, never tried
it myself.
Although I have never used one, AFAIK that is exactly what a hub
does;
it sends all traffic out all ports. Just be aware that this will
greatly increase traffic across all the segments, and may cause
collisions. That's why switches have more or less replaced hubs.
