2. You can use the show capture-buffer hex command to view a hex dump of
the captured packets.
However, for a proper analysis of the captured packets, you should upload the
capture file and analyze it using a sniffer application, as described in the following
sections.
Example
The following is an example of the show capture-buffer hex command:
Gxxx-001> show capture-buffer hex

Uploading the capture file
Procedure
Once the packet sniffing service is stopped, upload the capture file to a server for
viewing and analysis.
Note:
The capture file may contain sensitive information, such as usernames and
passwords of non-encrypted protocols. It is therefore advisable to upload the capture
file over a secure channel – via VPN or using SCP (Secure Copy).
In most cases, you can upload the capture file to a remote server. However, in cases
where the capture file is very large, or you encounter a WAN problem, you can upload
the capture file to an S8300 Server and view it using Tethereal, which is a command-
line version of Ethereal.
