			<description><![CDATA[ Yes, you can monitor the bandwidth consumed by smartphones which are connected to the wifi. Use Capsa Enterprise to monitor the wifi network, find your MAC address/IP address of your phone on the Physical Endpoint view or the IP Endpoint view, then you can view the traffic.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Shelley, why not place your hub between the router and the 1st switch it connects to (probably is a managed switch) then plug your monitoring in to this (hub). This would no doubt give you an idea of the ip address of the offender before it's address changes on the exterior of the router. If you have that many switches surely they are managed. Just a thought.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Hi Shelly, it depends on the capability of the switch. If your switch has port mirroring function, just mirror the traffic to a destination port and then connect Capsa to the destination port, then you can monitor the whole network. If your switch does not have port mirroring function, you need to plug a tap between the swtich and the router, in such way that you can get all the traffic through the switch to thereby monitor the whole network.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So are you saying I would have to temporarily replace a switch with a hub, reconnecting all 28 pieces of equipment on the switch to the temp hub? Then if I want to check another group of computers I would need to move the hub around in the network (temporarily replacing each switch)? Isn't there any way to scan the entire network and see what's going first???? Is there some way to at least get an idea where to start? Our network seems to be running slow and I suspect either a couple of bad network cards, a user watching youtube, or a bad switch. Can this software help me figure out what's going on?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Let me get this right.... So if I have 40ea switches on the corporate network I would have to plug my pc in to each one separately and turn port monitoring on (on the port I plug my laptop into) to check all of the pcs on that switch? I'm confused! I thought this software was to find the pc causing the trouble. Where to start?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Maybe a hub between the switch and Modem would work? I haven't tried, but it should let you monitor traffic bound for the internet]]></description>
