Procedure 4 - TCP Dump

The TCP Dump utility monitors the contents of packets on a network interface that match a given Boolean expression. You can use this utility to troubleshoot problems on your network. Cisco ISE troubleshooting diagnostic tools provide an intuitive user interface.

Step 1
- Go to Operations → Troubleshoot → Diagnostic Tools → TCP Dump.

Step 2
Select a Network Interface to monitor from the drop-down menu. This is the interface upon which the network traffic is monitored, or sniffed.

Step 3
Set Promiscuous Mode to On or Off by clicking the radio button. The default is On.

Step 4
Promiscuous Mode is the default packet sniffing mode. It is recommended that you leave it set to On. In this mode, the network interface is passing all traffic to the system's CPU.

Step 5
In the Filter field, enter a Boolean expression on which to filter. Standard TCP Dump filter expressions are supported, such as the following: host 10.0.2.1 and port 1812

Step 6
Click Start to begin monitoring the network.

Step 7
Click Stop when you have collected a sufficient amount of data, or wait for the process to conclude automatically after accumulating the maximum number of packets (500,000).
