Network Packet Tracing

[Adi Kremer]

hello,

I need to do some TCP/IP packet tracing on a HP-UX 11.i and since it has been several years since I have done it, I can't for the life of me, remember the commands involved. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Kremer I believe that the command: ndd
it helps you .

[Adi Kremer]

No, ndd is for network tuning. Since I wrote the question I went through the file system and that triggered my memory. It is actually nettl.

Thanks anyway.

nettl is the tool but it is incredibly difficult to use and understand the formatted output. However, there is a great tool called Wireshark (aka, Ethereal) which can not only trace the packets from a PC, but formats the trace in the most useful ways as well as providing wizards to display potential problems. It is also very useful because it can read nettl traces from HP-UX as well as dozens of other trace files.

For me it is more preferable way to capture
with tcpdump on server into file (dont forget options about setting capture packet size and writing capture to file ). Then I open this file with Ethereal on my Windows PC machine.
