hi,

i have bad and good news, both.... :)
bad news is that it won't go through ssh.... the rationale behind this is
that packets over tcp is a bad idea in general....
good news is that you can do remote packet monitoring...

step1 would be to configure a tunnel of your preference to the capturing
machine running wireshark...
you can pick up erspan, which is a cisco defined tunnel also available in
freerouter and read fine with wireshark...
the other option would be packet over udp tunnel... the advantage of this is
that it's udp and not a raw ip protocol...
this one also read by wireshark but you have to select the mirroring stream
and right-click decode-as ethernet....

step2 is to initiate the mirroring itself... you have several options doing
so...
for quick one-off sessions use the cli command "packet monitor ethernet1
tunnel666"
for persistent monitoring, you can configure it under the interface with
monitor-? commands...
the one-off equvivalent version would be "inter eth1" "monitor-session
tunnel666"
but please explore the options you have under monitor-?...

also please note that these commands will mirror the packets processed in
software...
if you're using an external dataplane like p4emu or p4dpdk or so, those
beasts have
some limitations like they cannot expose packets directly to a tunnel but to
a hairpin
or an sdnX interface... refer the test cases of them to have some ideas....

regards,
cs

Hi all,

Is it possible capturing packets on freerouter remotely with wireshark by
ssh?
I'm trying to capture packets on freerouter in real time by ssh.

I'm wanting to do this setup because freerouter is installed on a desktop on
my home network.

My server ssh on freerouter is setup like that.

!
server telnet ssh
security protocol ssh
security authentication usr
security rsakey rsa
security dsakey dsa
security ecdsakey ecdsa
port 222
exec colorized
no exec authorization
no login authentication
vrf v1
exit
!
