Monitoring IP Data Packages with rpcap and Wireshark (Ethereal)

Overview
Tracing via the HIP interface
The HIP interface (interface between HiPath 3000 and HG 1500) cannot be traced directly.
However, external connections to the HIP interface via the LAN interfaces (LAN1: emac0 or
LAN2: emac1) can be traced. When the rpcap service is launched, a server port of the HG 1500
opens. This enables direct access to TCP/IP packets by an IP trace tool such as e.g. Wireshark
(Ethereal).
Wireshark is a program for analyzing network communication connections. It records data
packets from HG 1500 and displays them clearly in a table.
rpcap (Remote Packet Capture)
The rpcap protocol permits programs such as Wireshark to run on the destination system as a
server, recording data packets and transmitting them to a client. The client processes, analyzes
and archives the data packets.

Performing Monitoring
To monitor the HG 1500 data packets, the rpcap service in the HG 1500 WBM and the IP trace
tool Wireshark on administrator PC must be configured and started.
1. Configure and start the rpcap service of the HG 1500
In the HG 1500 WBM, proceed as follows:
1.
Start WBM.
2.
Log on as a developer.
3.
Go to Maintenance -> Platform Diagnosis -> rpcap daemon to open the “Start rpcap
daemon” window.
4.
Make the following entries in the “IP address (numeric or literal):” field:
●
IP address of the HG 1500 (numeric or literal)
●
HG 1500 port
5.
Click Apply to start the rpcap daemon. A HG 1500 server port is opened.
2. Configure Wireshark and start monitoring
In Wireshark, proceed as follows:
