tcpdump limitation @ Viprion multiple blades

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?

by the way, why don't you run tcpdump on interface vlan or interface 0.0 (instead of physical interface)?

You are correct, you will not get any traffic from traffic traversing physical interfaces on blade 2. For these reasons I always recommend capturing on VLANs on Viprion when you know the ingress and egress VLANs(though this does mean you need two separate captures to get the traffic from both VLANs.)

If I did capture on interface 0.0 on blade1, will i get traffic traverse blade2?

yes

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

in that case, you can capture on interface 0.0.
