The RPCap interface integrated in LCOS allows you to use the packet analysis tool "Wireshark" to capture data packets from any interface of a LANCOM router.
In contrast to data capture with LCOSCap, using RPCap allows the captured data to be analyzed in real time and you can create capture filters.
Note: Please note that a running Wireshark instance consumes significantly more resources on the PC than an LCOSCap instance. For long-term data capture, we therefore recommended the use of LCOSCap.
Packet capture with RPCap has the following prerequisites:
- Current versions of Wireshark and WinPcap under Microsoft Windows
- LCOS version 8.80 or later
- IP connectivity between the PC running Wireshark and the router being analyzed
