Comparable Snoop Command

[Roland Rebstock_1]

Is their a command in HPUX comparable to Snoop in Solaris that I can use to view traffic on the network lan cards?

Hi,

You can use landiag and netstat to view the network statistics.

Hi Roland,

nettl/netfmt are the default tools available to analyze the traffic on the network. Look at the man pages for their usage.

But there are other good available at HP-UX porting site. I like ethereal personally.

Another useful and most commonly used one is tcpdump.

Note the dependencies before installing the tools.

Hi,

You can use nettl. There is a nice GUI version available called nettladm. It is called the Network Tracing and Logging Administrator. It hides all the command line version stuff drom you. From nettladm man page... "The nettladm command starts a menu-driven program that makes it easy to perform network tracing and logging tasks with only limited specialized knowledge of HP-UX.
