Altostratustcpdump 'h' noise amplifier
Does anyone know the definition of 'h' noise amplifier in tcpdump?
It's possible to use this amplifier when I sniff TMM traffic or CMI traffic, so I think it's just to sniff internal processes traf...

Notes about the wireshark plugin
As of Wireshark 2.6.0 (rel. 4/24/2018) the 1.11 version of the f5ethtrailer dissector is included as a built-in. It is no longer necessasary to use the plugin do decode f5ethtrailer information.
It is disabled by default. To enable it, from the menu select "Anyalyze" : "Enabled Protocols...". Then search for f5ethtrailer and enable the dissector. https://www.wireshark.org/news/20180424.html
DarioGB_339840Hello Imiestc, thanks for your response ;-).
Actually, I'm asking for 'h' option (not for 'nnn'), which is not included in this KB.
Do you know any other which talks about 'h' option?
KR, Dario.

Just to clarify. With "noise amplifier" i mean "noise amplitude".
Any help?

From K13637 "The extra TMM information can only be captured when the interface on which tcpdump is listening is a Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)." E.G "vlan:noiseamplitude"
So tcpdump -nnei tmm:h will fail with tcpdump: Ingress/egress modifier not supported on this interface.
In regards of the vlan:h option here is what man tcpdump on the F5 CLI says
h = Capture only traffic destined for the Linux host.
