    You need a manageable switch you can run SPAN (Switch port analyzer) which will send all frames to a specifies destination port, like the one you are running wireshark on. Bear in mind a switch will only forward unicast, broadcast and sometimes multicast frames to your source port, they don't replicate all frames out all ports like hubs do.
