Cisco ACI permissions error: You don't have permission to capture on

[WarrenT-CO]

Hello Cisco Community, I'm getting the error you don't have permissions to capture on this device from the cisco APIC.  Would you please provide recommendations in order to capture APIC traffic over it's management interface. 

apic# tcpdump -i oobmgmt -f port 123

Hi @WarrenT-CO 

You cannot use tcpdump on APIC as "admin". You will need root access and for that you need help from Cisco TAC or your local Cisco representatives. You can however use tcpdump on leafs without root.

Take care,
