Using the Technician Interface to Configure and Run Packet Capture
B-33
Displaying the File
You can use the Packet Dump utility to display a Packet Capture file that you
retreived from the router.
The Site Manager installation software installs the Packet Dump utility on the
following platforms:
• On DOS PCs, in the \wf directory. The filename is pktdump.dos.
• On SPARCstations, in the /usr/wf/bin directory. The filename is pktdump.spc.
The SPARCstation version runs only under SunOS.
These utilities are also available in the /perm/pkt_dump directory on the Bay
Networks FTP file server. Refer to Chapter 8 for file transfer instructions.
Access the directory and enter the following command at the Sun or DOS PC or
UNIX command line:
pktdump
<filename>
<filename>
is the name of the Packet Capture file you retrieved from the router.
Packet Dump shows the same information about each packet as the Technician
Interface, but it does not provide options for specifying the packet by number or
quantity. Go to “Using the
Technician Interface to Display a Packet Capture File”
for a description of the fields and to “Example 1
” within that section to look at a
sample display.
Converting a Packet Capture File to Network General Sniffer
Format
You can use the Packet Convert utility to a Packet Capture file that you retrieved
from the router to Network General Sniffer format. This format allows the Sniffer
to use the high level of decoding available to it to decode the captured packets.
The Site Manager installation software installs the Packet Convert utility on the
following platforms:
• On DOS PCs, in the \wf directory. The filename is pktconv.dos.
• On SPARCstations, in the /usr/wf/bin directory. The filename is pktconv.spc.
The SPARCstation version runs only under SunOS.
