QuestionQ2

Manage, maintain, optimize, and monitor the wired network solution

You need to perform a packet capture on a CX switch and copy the complete output directly to an SCP server. What is the best method for doing this?

Explanation

A mirror session with the CPU as its destination lets Tshark capture the mirrored traffic into a PCAP file on the CX switch for transfer to a remote server. A destination interface or ERSPAN forwards traffic for external analysis, while real-time tcpdump output does not produce the required complete capture file. Aruba documents CPU-destined mirroring for Tshark captures and the copy tshark-pcap workflow for transferring capture data to a remote secure file-transfer server.
