I've use the SPAN command on one of the ports on my main backbone
switch so that I can attached a sniffer to it.

I"ve tried Ethereal but unfortunately I can't find a way to separate
the port #'s when loading the exported capture in Excel.

I'm just looking for something simple that can export the following
data in separate columns:

SOURCE IP
SOURCE PORT
DESTINATION IP
DESTIONATION PORT
PROTOCOLS (UDP, TCP, etc)

It also has to have the option to start writing the capture to new log
files when the log file has reach a certain size.

That's it...

Enable NetFlow on the switch and export

There are a number of free NetFlow collectors

There is always Ethereal's poor cousin windump.

This is a Windows port of tcpdump. The only thing to watch
out for is that you need to tell it what interface you want to capture
from.

You can tell it to stop after capturing a certain numebr of packets
and you could use a batch file or whatever to rotate the file names.

I put in a few different kinds of packet here including TCP telnet.

H:\>windump -D
1.\Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter (Adapter for generic dialup and VPN
capture)
2.\Device\NPF_ (Compaq Ethernet/Fast
Ethernet Adapter/Module (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
3.\Device\NPF_ (Broadcom
NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )

H:\>windump -i 3 -n -vv host 192.168.77.1
windump: listening on \Device\NPF_

Thanks for the suggestions.

I found this:

http://www.plasticwater.com/PlasticSniffer/

I tried it but I'm not sure what format the export file is in? It
doesn't give me an option to select an extension. Anyone know?
