Need help with mirroring and/or port spanning.

Hi,
 
I have an application (Websense Enterprise) that will not make use of it's bandwidth optimization feature without specific settings on the switch that the command console is connected to.  Here's what it says:

You must configure a switch to use mirroring, 2-way port spanning, or promiscuous mode, so that the Network Agent can detect Internet requests from all the workstations.

I just replaced our old 3com switches with two stacks of Dell 3348 PowerConnect Switches.  They are working fine out of the box, but I'm not familiar enough with them to know if any of these things is enabled by default.  If not, how do I do it?  Which of these (mirroring, 2-way port spanning, or promiscuous mode) does the 3348 do?

Thanks!
