How to turn off tmm info in tcpdump
From what I read in https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K13637 you have to actively tell the F5 implementation of tcpdump to include additional information. I have the opposite problem that there always is additional info in the capture file. I get a first packet with information about the command I used, Big-IP version, hostname, BIG-IP platform and product name. In each packet the partition and virtual server path is included at the end. (Which causes wireshark to tag the packets with "ethernet frame check sequence incorrect") It is sometimes useful to send packet captures to external parties for troubleshooting and I would prefer this to not be included.
I use tcpdump as I normally do on other devices i.e. "tcpdump -i external -nn host 1.2.3.4 -w /path/ -s 0 -vv". The result is the same from tmsh, bash and regardless of which partition I have set the shell to. Should the capture file be "clean" in the sense that tcpdump will see it as a normal capture when you capture like this?
