C3- Description how to use the feature "Remote Capture" with Wire-
shark to analyze the LAN/WAN traffic of the Router
The function "Remote Capture" can be used to record the traffic at Router's LAN- or WAN port using a re-
mote connected PC running Wireshark. The PC is located somewhere in the network and must be able to
access one of the IP addresses of the Router.
Step-by-step guidance
Activate the "Remote capture" feature of the Router as shown below (Menu Diagnostics Remote
C3.1
Capture)
Note:
Only one Wireshark-Client-PC (here 172.16.1.10) can be used at the same time record the traffic by
Wireshark. Please deactive this feature if you no longer need to analyze the traffic because it has
an impact on the performance of the Router.
