Limiting packet sniffing to specific interfaces

Last Updated : Nov 06, 2012 |

About this task

By default, the packet sniffing service captures packets and Ethernet frames from all the router’s interfaces. You can use the capture interface command to limit packet sniffing to a specific interface.

For example, the following command limits packet sniffing to the FastEthernet Interface:

Gxxx-001(super)# capture interface fastethernet 10/3
Done!
Gxxx-001(super)#

The following command enables packet sniffing on all available interfaces:

Gxxx-001(super)# capture interface any
Done!
Gxxx-001(super)#
