Important:
This chapter describes experimental functionality that might or
might not work as expected depending on the specific implementation
in third party software and hardware. No technical support will be
provided for this functionality.
In addition to the remote
capture functionality provided by
CommView Remote
Agent, CommView can also
capture traffic from remote computers using the RPCAP (Remote
Packet Capture) protocol. This protocol is supported by some
hardware (e.g. Aerohive Access Points) and software (e.g.
WinPcap).
To switch to remote
monitoring mode, click File
=>
Remote
Monitoring Mode. An additional toolbar
will appear in the CommView main window next to the main toolbar.
Click the New
RPCAP Connection button to open a new
connection window.
To connect to a remote
device, enter its hostname
or IP address, specify the
port
number (RPCAP
uses port 2002 by default), check the User
Authentication box and specify a
user
name and password,
if authentication is required, and then check the
Promiscuous
mode box if that is the capture
mode you wish to use. Click Connect
to establish a
connection. Once the connection has been established, the
Adapter
drop-down list
will be populated by available network interfaces. Click
Capture
to start
capturing.
