Ethereal-users: Re: [Ethereal-users] Sniffing VLAN tagged packets with capture filter
Thanks Martin, for the link to the WinDump manual and a more comprehensive document for capture filter construction. I did not know about the VLAN qualifier. That said, I am still having trouble capturing exactly what I want. For instance:
Say I want to capture all the IP traffic to and from remote network
192.168.1.0. All the traffic TO the network is from a tagged vlan (ie: the
packets will have a vlan tag). All the traffic FROM the network is not
tagged.
If I use capture filter "net 192.168.1.0" it captures all the traffic coming
from 192.168.1.0 (doesn't capture the vlan tagged traffic to the network).
If I use capture filter "vlan 2 and net 192.168.1.0" it captures all the
traffic going to 192.168.1.0 (doesn't capture the non tagged traffic from
the network).
Now, I would think the capture filter "(vlan 2 and net 192.168.1.0) or (net
192.168.1.0)" should capture all the traffic to and from the network but it
doesn't - I still see only the vlan tagged traffic.
What am I missing and how would one construct a capture filter to accomplish my objective?
Thanks again.
