The tcpdump using the external host command didn't render any output at all.

 

 

I was able however, to get the pps throughput using NGenius and I'm at around 2000-3000 pps on the inside interface so this would probably expliain why tcpdump is performing so poorly. The thing is, the F5 that I'm testing on isn't even our production box that pushes alot more packets per second.....how do you troubleshoot this box with a broken tcpdump???

 

 

The reason I ask is that the F5 is a fairly new deploy for me and I am starting to get calls from the Windows crew that have machines behind VIPS on this box and they want me to troubleshoot their flows and I can't.....I'm I missing something here?
