Build an access list to account for traffic flowing in both directions if you do in fact want to see both sides of the flow. Ideally, you may want to leverage an extended access list. Second, you want to come up with some way of filtering traffic. Let’s look firsthand at how to configure and use the capture features of the switch.įirst, take note that this configuration takes place in enabled mode, not configuration mode. With this comes some additional flexibility, in this case, Wireshark. In the case of Cisco 36 switches the management and control planes are essentially a Linux operating system with a terminal to function like IOS of the past. With today’s less expensive and more powerful hardware it should come as no surprise that this functionality is now available on network hardware it’s self. I’ve written about this in the past here. Historically the easiest way to do this was to configure some type of SPAN port on a switch to copy the traffic to your pack capture device. The newer one is called Npcap it is actively being maintained, and is based on a relatively recent version of libpcap, but is only available for Windows 7 and later versions of Windows.One of the most fundamental troubleshooting concepts in all of IT is to capture packets and review the data as it flows over the wire. The older one is named WinPcap it is no longer actively being maintained, and is based on an older version of libpcap. Two Windows versions of libpcap are available. (Specialized Linux distributions such as those for small embedded boxes might omit it.) It comes as part of most non-specialized Linux distributions, the free-software BSDs, and macOS it's installed by default on the BSDs and macOS, and it might be installed by default on the Linux distributions as well. On most modern UN*X platforms libpcap is available. More information can be found at the tcpdump project page libpcap and tcpdump are both developed by. Wireshark/TShark uses libpcap to capture live network data.Īs capture filter strings are directly passed from Wireshark/TShark to libpcap, the available capture filter syntax depends on the libpcap version installed.
