How to Capture Fiber Channel traffic

[dtran]

Hi all,

I have a few Brocade switches and I am looking for a tool that does packet capture for fiber channel traffic, similar to Wireshark for IP traffic. Has anyone used one or recommend one ? or Can Wireshark capture and decode fiber channel traffic ?

Thanks in advance !!

Hello,

Usually a capturing tool such as Xgig is used. However, I encourage you to look at the following posts as well:

Hope this helps,

Thanks Justin !!! I also found this link. Looks like a FC analyzer is needed.
