F5 internal fields i.e. flow id and peer id difference.

Hello Folks,

 

Can someone shed some light on the subjected fields of F5? What is the different between Flow ID and Peer ID and how it can be useful for troubleshooting?

 

Any document or reference?

 

Thank you, Darshan

    Hey Nitaas,

     

    Nope, I didn't find that. Tried Google before posting, but that didn't detect above article. Anyways, you have always been helpful.

     

    Thanks, Darshan

    Hey Nitaas,

     

    Off the track, any clue how can I install F5 plugin to Wireshark? Tried to Google, didn't help. Can you help?

     

    Cheers!

      you already have dll file, haven't you? if yes, just copy it to plugins folder (e.g. \Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\1.8.10).

    After putting DLL file to the /Plugins directory of Wireshark, it gives me an error as following.

     

    Couldn't load module C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\1.12.2\f5ethtrailer.dll: 'C:\Program Files\Wireshark\plugins\1.12.2\f5ethtrailer.dll': The specified procedure could not be found.

     

    I am using Wireshark 1.12, perhaps compatibility issue with version?

      dll is version dependent. yours might not be compatible with version 1.12.

    Aaha! In that case I will try it with lower version of Wireshark, and give it a shot.

     

    Thanks Nitass!
