Sending Captures to Remote IP Addresses
You must use the eth2 interface to capture control traffic on a supervisor module.
Caution
To capture frames remotely, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote 10.21.0.3
switch(config)#
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote 10.21.0.3 active
switch(config)#
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote 10.21.0.3 active 1
switch(config)#
To capture remote traffic, use one of the following options:
•
•
Clearing Configured fcanalyzer Information
Use the clear fcanalyzer command to clear the entire list of configured hosts. Note that the existing
connections are not terminated.

The capture interface can be specified in Ethereal as the remote device:
rpcap://<ipaddress or switch hostname>/eth2
For example:
rpcap://cp-16/eth2
rpcap://17.2.1.1/eth2
The capture interface can be specified either in the capture dialog box or by using the -i option at
the command line when invoking Ethereal.
ethereal -i rpcap://<ipaddress|hostname>[:<port>]/<interface>
For example:
ethereal -i rpcap://172.22.1.1/eth2
or
ethereal -i rpcap://customer-switch.customer.com/eth2
For example, in a Windows 2000 setup, click Start on your desktop and select Run. In the
Note
resulting Run window, type the required command line option in the Open field.

Troubleshooting Your Fabric
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the remote IP address
(10.21.0.3) to which the captured frames
are sent.
Enables active mode (passive is the
default) with the remote host.
Ethereal is assumed to be running when
the capture is performed. The switch
tries to connect forever unless a capture
stop instruction is sent from Ethereal.
Enables the active mode for a specified
port. The valid port range is 1 to 65535.
