Hi,
We are downloading data from the internet to a Fabric Virtual Machine (VM) and need to capture network traffic traces related to these downloads from the middle of the network (outside the VM). I have attached the topology diagram for your reference.
Could you please guide us on how to perform this capture effectively?
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely, Jestus
One possible idea:
- Create a FABNetv4Ext or FABNetv6Ext network.
- Insert IP routes so that the traffic to the Internet goes through FABNetv4Ext/FABNetv6Ext interface, instead of the management interface.
- Setup switchport mirroring.
- Capture the traffic on the mirror port.
Thank you, @yoursunny, for the excellent suggestion!
@Jestus,
In addition to @yoursunny’s point, the Project Lead for your project will need to request permissions to enable FabNetv*Ext services. You can find more details here.
Additionally, we recommend avoiding the use of the management interface for data transfer and instead utilizing the FABNetv4Ext/FABNetv6Ext services. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or comments.
Thanks,
KomalThank you, yoursunny and Komal, for your responses. However, this is essentially like creating a proxy. Are there other options?
Sincerely, Jestus
