Beginner sniffer here using a demo of etherpeek. Question I have is, can you
sniff from a workstation across a switch or will you only see what's on that
segment?
Unless you're using a promiscous port on the switch you'll only see
traffic for that segment. If you have a quality switch, you should be
able to configure this, otherwise you'll have to use some sort of arp
poisoning (which will cause serious network slowdown, be careful).
