This can be done both on switches and routers. On Cisco routers you would use
a route-map to basically copy all traffic passing through one interface to
another interface. Possible uses would be for IDS setups and probably other
uses. On switches it would be known as port mirroring.

Some router have an option of dumping all traffic to a give port, so
if you are connected to the right router port you will see everything
as if it was a hub. At least I already saw a router configured that
way, that port that was connected to a computer that was dedicated to
run snort.
Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure you're talking about switches that have
a "mirror" port.
