Configuring Wireshark
Beginning with Cisco IOS Release XE 3.3.0SG in the IP Base and Enterprise Services feature sets, the

Note Wireshark is only supported on Supervisor Engine 8-E, Supervisor Engine 7l-E, Supervisor Engine 7-E,
Catalyst 4500X-16, and Catalyst 4500X-32.

configuration differences as detailed in the “Configuring Wireshark on VSS” section on page 59-14.
