NOTE : For MAC O/S, we only have a client application for Wave. Wireshark is a cross-platform application, like the WAVE VMS, and is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is a commonly used application for network troubleshooting, analysis, and many more applications. Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. This article will explain how to create a capture and keep it in mind when capturing the data.įirst, you need to download Wireshark. You may also use Wireshark capture and analysis tool.Sometimes our support team will ask you to create a Wireshark capture so that they can analyze the communication between the WAVE Server and a camera. To capture all packets from a specific host on the network: Tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

To capture all packets on the WAN (the below assumes that interface eth1 is the WAN interface): tcpdump relies on libcap, therefore it can produce standard pcap analysis files which may be processed by other tools. It may be used to capture packets on the fly and/or save them in a file for later analysis. Tcpdump is a network capture and analysis tool.
