NimbostratusHi All,
I have started working on F5 GTM recently and stuck with the tcpdump commands for it.
Need help on tcpdump commands for wideip to check if the wideip is working correctly.
Also are there any step by step guide to check and troubleshoot wideip application issue.
AltocumulusHi,
You can have a look this link, https://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/dns/html/class4/module1/lab4.html.
I hope would be helpful.
Hi Aditya,
You can try using the following formats by changing the host IP as per your configuration.
tcpdump -vvv -s0 -nni 0.0:nnnp udp port 53 and host 1.2.3.4 -w /var/tmp/$(/bin/hostname)_$(date +%Y-%m-%d)_$(date +%H:%M).pcap
First, find out which interface you want to sniff with the "ifconfig" command. If the destination server is located on an interface called "vlan1275" you can dump all DNS traffic to a specific IP address thus
tcpdump -i vlan1275 udp port 53 and host 1.2.3.4 -w /var/tmp/$(/bin/hostname)_$(date +%Y-%m-%d)_$(date +%H:%M).pcap
