Remote capture from Cisco MDS Fibre Switch fails

0

I'm attempting to capture fibre channel traffic from a Cisco MDS Fibre channel switch via pcap. While attempting to a remote capture I captured the traffic to see why it was failing. Looks like the list interfaces request and reply worked. The authentication worked also. During the remote capture start I got generic updatefilter error 7

I'll upload the trace. Has anyone done this before?

Here's my capture. http://www.cloudshark.org/captures/b2e59aeb2e4c

Windows host running wireshark and pcap IP = 172.31.110.40

Cisco MDS switch IP = 172.18.1.71

I was able to figure this out.

Needed wireshark v 1.0.6.

fcanalyzer remote 172.31.110.40

RACK06-9124-01# show fcanalyzer PassiveClient = 172.31.110.40

Wireshark capture options rpcap://[172.18.1.71]/eth2
