Analyzing captured packets with Wireshark

To analyze the captured packets with the packet analysis tool "Wireshark", proceed as follows:

  1. Start Wireshark.
    Please note that using the RPCap interface only works properly in combination with the Windows version of Wireshark. This is because PRCap is only supported by the WinPcap driver available for Windows and included in Wireshark.
  2. After starting the program, select Capture Options. In the window that appears, click on the button Manage Interfaces.




  3. In the following window, select the tab Remote Interfaces and add your router. The field Username can be left blank. Set the password as the main device password for the router.




  4. A list of all of the interfaces on the router available for data capture is displayed. Confirm the dialog by clicking on Apply and Close.




  5. In the Capture Options, select which of the interfaces are to be captured. Now click on the Start button.




The packets passing through the selected interfaces are now captured.
