I started going through the console right after I posted that and came up
with span as well and went through CCO on this:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/473/41.html#arch5000

But it looks like you are correct about not being able to monitor the
entire switch, just Vlans or other ports individually. 

With the way span works (if I'm reading it correctly) and we have 9
blades in our Cat I might be able to do this:

set span 3/1-48,4/1-48,5/1-48,6/1-48,7/1-48,8/1-48,9/1-48,10/1-12,11/1-12
10/2

and that should in theory monitor everything on the switch and send
everything to port 10/2 but it seems like a hell of a lot to do. Not
something I'm going to try at this point anyway.

Thanks though.
Keith
