Automatically copy packet capture to flash

[charlie.ford]

I need to download a packet capture daily to a server. We will use the "scp" option to retrive the capture but?

Can I automaticlly store a capture in flash? Or can I retrieve it from another memory location via scp?

wget works but I need a secure method of transport, wget exposes the passwords (unless you can secure that also)?

Here is my generic capture:

object-group network pcap_remote

network-object 0 0

object-group network pcap_local

network-object 0 0

access-list acl_capture permit ip object-group pcap_remote object-group pcap_local

access-list acl_capture permit ip object-group pcap_local object-group pcap_remote

capture pcap type raw-data access-list acl_capture buffer 10000 interface outside circular-buffer

show capture pcap

Hi Charlie,

You can use the 'copy /pcap capture: flash:' command to copy the contents of the capture buffer to a file in flash, but you would need to use a script to login to the firewall for this to be done manually.From there you can use scp to get the capture off the flash.

Hope that helps.

Mirober2,

Not sure if this will get to you but thanks for the response. You saved me a lot of time.
