How do you do a capture on Cisco switch that is connected to a server that is remotely connected to PC using Wireshark? I cannot put Wireshark on the server but would like to (if possible) do the capture from a PC remotely connected to that server instead. I'm new to this. Bear with me. asked 24 Nov '14, 18:05  holtsclaw74 |
One Answer:
You may want to read http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Ethernet for starters to see how capture setups are usually set up. What you can do additionally is to use RSPAN/ERSPAN to configure remote SPANning solutions, but they have a lot of drawbacks, e.g. timings that aren't exact, and the transport of additional capture load over the backbone.
