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.
