remote In remote capture mode, the captured packets are redirected in real time to an
external computer running the Wireshark tool for Microsoft
®
Windows
®
. A packet
capture server runs on the switch side and sends the captured packets via a TCP
connection to the Wireshark tool. The remote capture can be enabled or disabled
using the CLI. There should be a Windows computer with the Wireshark tool to display
the captured file. When using the remote capture mode, the switch does not store any
captured data locally on its file system. You can configure the IP port number for
connecting Wireshark to the switch. The default port number is 2002. If a firewall is
installed between the Wireshark PC and the switch, these ports must be allowed to
pass through the firewall. You must configure the firewall to allow the Wireshark
computer to initiate TCP connections to the switch. If the socket connection to
Wireshark has been established, the captured CPU packets are written to the data
socket. Wireshark receives the packets and processes it to display. This continues
until the session is terminated by either end. Starting a remote capture session
automatically terminates the file capture and line capturing.
line In capture line mode, the captured packets are saved in real-time mode into the RAM
and can be displayed on the CLI. Starting a line capture automatically terminates any
remote capture session and capturing into a file.
