  • same as any tcpdump implementation.

     

     

    Examples:

     

     

    tcpdump -ni 1.1 tcp port 80 -w/var/tmp/http.cap

     

     

    tcpdump -ni public_vlan tcp port 21 -w/var/tmp/ftp.cap

     

     

    tcpdump -ni 0.0 udp 1645 -w/var/tmp/all_interfaces_radius.cap

     

     

    For more syntax information, google tcpdump. For future reference, this forum is for iRules questions, there isn't yet a Configuration & troubleshooting forum.... hopefully soon?

    As citizen_elah mentioned, to capture traffic on all switch interfaces at once, you can use a custom interface, 0.0.
