Configuring a Fabric Analyzer
About the Cisco Fabric Analyzer
The Cisco Fabric Analyzer comprises two separate components:
•
A software that runs on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch and supports two modes of capture:
–
a text-based analyzer that supports local capture and decodes captured frames
–
a daemon that supports remote capture
•
A GUI-based client that runs on a host that supports libpcap such as Windows or Linux and
communicates with the remote capture daemon in a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch.

Cisco Fabric Analyzer Usage
Local Text-Based Capture
This component is a command-line driven text-based interface that captures traffic to and from the
supervisor module in a Cisco MDS 9000 switch. It is a fully-functional decoder that is useful for quick
debug purposes or for use when the remote capture daemon is not enabled. Additionally, because this
tool is accessed from within the Cisco MDS 9000 switch, it is protected by the roles-based policy that
limits access in each switch.
