wireshark for RIOT

Hi,

Another question is about using wireshark to monitor the native port. I installed wireshark on ubuntu and the plugin for RIOT, but found it cannot monitor tap devices (tap0, tap1). This is not the wireshark’s problem, since it can monitor eth0 device.

How to use the wireshark to monitor the native port?

Thanks,

Xili

Hi Xili, did you use the tapsetup script (cpu/native/tapsetup.sh). Usually you need to set the user for the tap interface to yourself. If you do it by hand:

sudo ip tuntap add dev tap0 mode tap user ${USER}

Also make sure you configured the setuid for wireshark correctly and are in the wireshark user group: https://ask.wireshark.org/questions/7976/wireshark-setup-linux-for-nonroot-user

Hope this was helpful, Martine

Thanks. I’ve solved this problem. The tap devices are showing up in the interface list of wireshark, including tap devices. The tap devices can only have packets when you using them.
