SmartWare Software Configuration Guide 12 • Ethernet port configuration

The following is an example of how the sniffer is normally used:

Step	Command	Purpose
1	[name] (cfg)# sniff ethernet	Enable the sniffer on ethernet port 0 1. (Normally the sniffer stops
	0 1 [wrap]	capturing, if the capture buffer is full. However, if the ‘wrap’ option is
		specified, the sniffer starts discarding the oldest packets and retains
		the newest ones, if the capture buffer is full.)
2		Now the sniffer is active and will capture the datapackets on the
		specified ethernet port.
3	[name] (cfg)# no sniff ether-	Disable the sniffer on ethernet port 0 1. (Note, that the captured
	net 0 1]	data is not stored to flash memory unless you issue this command)
		The file in the flash memory will be named as follows:
		nvram:ethernet-0-<slot>-<port>.cap
		In this example the name will be:
		nvram:ethernet-0-0-1.cap
4	[name] (cfg)# copy	Copy the capture file via TFTP to a workstation.
	nvram:ethernet-0-0-1.cap
	tftp://tftp.mypc.net/
	capture.cap
5	[name] (cfg)# erase	Erase the capture file on the system to save flash memory.
	nvram:ethernet-0-0-1.cap
6		Now the capture file capture.cap can be viewed on a workstation
		with Ethereal for example.
	Note It is possible to capture packets on multiple Ethernet ports at the same time.
