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 using IPv4, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote 10.21.0.3
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote 10.21.0.3 active
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote 10.21.0.3 active 1
To capture frames remotely using IPv6, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Step 2
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote
2001:0DB8:800:200C::417A
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote
2001:0DB8:800:200C::417A active
switch(config)# fcanalyzer remote
2001:0DB8:800:200C::417A active 1
To capture remote traffic, use one of the following options:

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.

Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Configures the remote IPv4 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.
