The trace information is placed into the /tmp/ace file. The packets to be recorded are received on the en0 interface, from remote host airmail. To record packets coming in and going out from a specific remote host, enter the command in the following format:.The packets to be recorded are received on the en0 interface, from remote host airmail, over the telnet port. Iptrace - i en0 -p telnet -s airmail /tmp/ace To record packets received on an interface from a specific remote host, enter the command in the following format:.The trace information is placed into the /tmp/nettrace file. All packet flow between the local host and all other hosts on any interface is recorded. The recorded packets are received on and sent from the local host. To record packets coming in and going out to any host on every interface, enter the command in the following format:.If used with the -b flag, the -s flag records packets both going to and coming from the host specified by the Host variable. The Host variable can be a host name or an Internet address in dotted-decimal format. Records packets coming from the source host specified by the Host variable. The Port variable can be a decimal number or name from the /etc/services file. Records packets that use the port number specified by the Port variable. The Protocol variable can be a decimal number or name from the /etc/protocols file. Records packets that use the protocol specified by the Protocol variable. Records packets received on the interface specified by the Interface variable. If used with the -b flag, the -d flag records packets both going to and coming from the host specified by the Host variable.Įnables promiscuous mode on network adapters that support this function. Records packets headed for the destination host specified by the Host variable. Flags -aĬhanges the -d or -s flags to bidirectional mode. You may be unable to kill the iptrace daemon if it hangs, requiring that you restart the system. Specifying an output file on an NFS-mounted file system can cause the iptrace daemon to hang. Note: The file specified by the LogFile parameter should not reside on an NFS-mounted file system. To format this file, run the ipreport command. The LogFile parameter specifies the name of a file to which the results of the iptrace command are sent. Packets are traced only between the local host on which the iptrace daemon is invoked and the remote host. Command flags provide a filter so that the daemon traces only packets meeting specific criteria. The /usr/sbin/iptrace daemon records Internet packets received from configured interfaces. usr/sbin/iptrace ] ] LogFile Description Provides interface-level packet tracing for Internet protocols.
