Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] merge pcap from two interfaces

[luke devon <luke_devon@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for the guidance.

May I know, can we use tshark to rotate the traces every 15 sec? and can we compress into tar.gz the completed dump?

Regards

Luke

Do you have to use tcpdump?  If you have tshark available, then you can capture on both interfaces at the same time without the need to merge separate capture files at all.  For example:

 

tshark -i eth0 -i eth1 –w eth0_eth1.pcapng

 

Refer to the tshark[1] (or dumpcap[2]) man pages for more information.

Hi Abhik, 

 

 

Thank you for the reply.

 

The reason is, the server got few more interfaces too. I want to capture specifically etho and etho1, Not other interfaces. That's why I can't use "-i any".

 

Regards

Luke

Hi Luke,

You could use mergecap (https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/AppToolsmergecap.html).

Alternately, run tcpdump with "-i any" to have the capture for all interfaces in the same file (unless you have good reason to keep them separate, of course).

Regards,

Abhik

Hi 

 

I have a server which has multiple ethernet interfaces and carrying network traffic to the system. every 15sec, roll out to the next tcpdump. Likewise, it will generate 4 - pcap file in a minute. 

 

eth0 will generate 4 pcap files

eth1 will generate 4 pap files.

 

I wanna merge respective etho and eth1 files by matching with the time stamp.

 

can it be done? Please help.

 

Thank you

Luke
