13.9 Packet Capture
13.9.1 Configure Remote Packet Capture
Remote packet capture is able to capture packets on the Ethernet port. To enable the remote
packet capture feature, go to the Ethernet port configuration and enable Remote packet
capture as shown in Figure 153.
Figure 153: Remote packet capture port configuration.
The default Port setting may be changed to the desired port. Normally, this can be left at its
default. If No authentication is selected, the device will allow incoming capture
connections without requiring any credentials. If Username and Password is selected as
authentication method, the client Wireshark will be required to provide valid credentials
before the capture session can be started. Note, that only the users admin and operator are
allowed to connect if this authentication method is selected.
Click the Save Settings button to save the configuration. The changes take effect and do not
require to reboot the device. The remote capture can also be disabled again without a
reboot.
13.9.2 Enable Local Capture
The device provides a local capture feature. With local capture enabled the device logs
packets to an internal ring buffer. The log can be downloaded from the Web interface. To
verify that the device is set up correctly, go to Statistics Packet capture as shown in
Figure 154.
