link type 136 (not able to read pcap captures from juniper service interface)

0

hi all:

i captured some data and stored as pcap format on a service interface of juniper mx960 (sp-1/0/0) but i am not able to open them up since i keep getting following errors:

"The file <whatever-name.pcap> is capture of for a network type that Wireshark doesn't support (pcap: network type 136 unknown or unsupported)"

i checked the list of tcpdump supported link types and it doesn't have 136. does it mean i would not be able to view the pcap files at all?

are there any possible workarounds for this?

thanks

What version of Wireshark are you using? Support for the Juniper Services PIC was added a month ago. It is available in the current development packages and will be in 1.10.0 when it is released.
