Using Ethanalyzer

Ethanalyzer is a Cisco NX-OS protocol analyzer tool based on the Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) open
source code. Ethanalyzer is a command-line version of Wireshark that captures and decodes packets.
You can use Ethanalyzer to troubleshoot your network and analyze the control-plane traffic.
To configure Ethanalyzer, use one or more of the following commands:
Command
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface brief
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface limit-captured-frames
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface limit-frame-size
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface capture-filter
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface display-filter
switch# ethanalyzer local interface
interface write
switch# ethanalyzer local read file
Ethanalyzer does not capture data traffic that Cisco NX-OS forwards in the hardware.
Ethanalyzer uses the same capture filter syntax as tcpdump. For more information, see the following
