This library also contains the Windows version of the well-known libpcap Unix API.
WinPcap consists of a driver that extends the operating system to provide low-level network access and a library that is used to easily access low-level network layers. In fact we always design with one port free for sniffing so that diagnostics can always be done.For many years, WinPcap has been recognized as the industry-standard tool for link-layer network access in Windows environments, allowing applications to capture and transmit network packets bypassing the protocol stack, and including kernel-level packet filtering, a network statistics engine and support for remote packet capture.
(though you can.better not).Īdvantage, no effect of your sniffing on the actual process.Once configured sniffing is always available and so you can use it whenever you want. Disadvantage you have to know to configure the device and you have to do it during shutdown so that existing connection is not disturbed.one port is no longer available for other uses. You then connect your wiresharkrunning computer and you can see all the packets without disturbing anything. You configure that all packets transferred in port1 (or which ever port is connected to the monitoring device)is mirrored to port 2 (or whichever port is connected to the sniffing device). All Scalance switches beyond X200 series and firmware beyond 3.0.14 has this facility.
Reconfigure the X216 to have port mirroring. Disadvantage, you will be slowly the service in the partner station as the sniffer runs in parallel to the running services and I would not to have a sniffer running parallel to an all-important HMI.ģ. Advantage you have perfect sniffing and so you miss nothing at all. Install Wire Shark in the partner station. Disadvantge you need a switch.which is not always so easy.Ģ. Advantage is that you don´t disturbanything which is there. Easiest way to do this is to put a simple switch(a simple one from themarket will do.)in between the switch and the PLC or the Station. Put your capturing computer/laptop inside this network. The reason for you not able to capture the packets using Wireshark is because the capturing device is in a different network than from the one in which the signal exchange is going on.
