System > Tools > Trace > Trace & Log Central > Collect Files > Check the Packet Capture Logs check box
Then select the timeframe you did the capture and Location you would like to download to.
How to gather via CLI?
Once you have run the capture you can execute the below command to display the directory where the capture is placed:
- file list activelog /platform/cli/*
Run the blow command to download the file to an SFTP server. Once you run the command you will be asked for further information regarding access to SFTP server.
- file get activelog /platform/cli/<filename>
Packet Capture on IP Phones
Call Manager Phones
In order to enable the PC port on the phone at the phone's device level configuration in the Unified CallManager configuration interface, complete these steps:
1. Log in to the CallManager Administration web interface with administrative rights and complete these tasks:
Choose the Device > Select the phone > PC Port * > Set to Enable > Save > Apply or Reset the phone
2. Connect a work station to the PC port on the back of the phone and run Wireshark on the work station. Wireshark collects Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP) packets from the phone.
