One Answer:
How you capture depends on your network architecture. Presumably the IED's and the PC are plugged into a switch, so you'll need to get the switch to span or mirror the traffic between the IED's to the port for the PC. See the Wiki page on Ethernet Capture Setup for more info. answered 19 Jun '13, 10:24  grahamb ♦ |
what are ieds?
I was thinking "improvised explosive device" when I saw that text... I wouldn't call it "improvised" anymore if a device like that talks via IP, so I guess that is not what it is :-)
Yeah, that was the first thing I found with google ;-))
Maybe it's an improved explosive device.
An IED can also be an Intelligent Electronic Device, another name for a PLC or RTU, often used in the electrical distribution industry.
The devices aren't all that intelligent really but compared to all the other devices in the electrical distribution network they're like super computers.
