I have trunk with two interfaces 1/1.1 and 2/1.1, so based on the previous description if we performed a tcpdump at blade1, I will not get any traffic traverses through bldae2? or it will be performed as trunk and all traffic will be captured?

 

it might not be an answer you are looking for but you can run 2 instances of tcpdump and merge them later, can't you?

    If I did capture on interface 0.0 on blade1, will i get traffic traverse blade2? also I like capturing on vlan if i have one vlan the traffic pass through, but at specific design the traffic traverse through 6 different vlans :)
