Packet Capture on CSS 1150X

[mattesonry]

Howdy,

Does anyone knwo why the CSS line does not have an equivalent to "tcpdump" or "snoop?" This would be

very valuable for customers. Also, anyone know if

an "ssldump" or equivalent might see it's way into the WebNS code?

for a very simple reason.

Traffic is hardware switched - not software switched.

tcpdump/snoop would run at software level and they would not see the traffic.

I don't think ssldump will ever exist on the CSS.

In addition to what Gilles has mentioned, there is some limited packet tracing capability. While this is not as good as tcpdump, it is a bit better than looking at show flow. There is a tech tip on this at
