tcpdump raw packet capture

Hi Brian,

 

 

The packets are being truncated because the default packet size capture is tiny. You can use -s 1500 or -s 0 on LTM to capture the full packets.

Capturing Packet Data

 

 

The tcpdump utility provides an option which allows you to specify the amount of each packet to capture.

 

 

You can use the -s (snarf/snaplen) option to specify the amount of each packet to capture. To capture the entire packet, use a value of 0 (zero). For example:

 

 

tcpdump -s0 src host 172.16.101.20 and dst port 80
