Jan 06, 2015when I try to save it to a file type and export it off the LTM and try to open it in wireshark for analysis, I get the following error. "The file "test.pcap" isnt a capture file in a format Wireshark understands."
what the tcpdump command did you use? was it -w option?
-w Write the raw packets to file rather than parsing and printing them out. They can later be printed with the -r option. Standard output is used if file is ââ-ââ. When writing packets in this manner, the first packet in the file will be a pseudo packet indicating the command line used to run tcpdump and some system information. This pseudo packet is not counted in the packets captured summary information nor when limiting the length of the capture with the -c option.
