HI @reaper,

 

I was troubleshooting AD server user agent communication issue, so PCAP from mgmt interface helped (server issue), but there seems no option to remove it. No big deal just wanted to know if there is a way to delete the file.

 

Thanks,

Myky

Hi @myky ,

 

I was using tcpdump on the management interface recently and I notice that every time the capture is started the file is overwriten, not amended. So as some kind of workaround you can just run new tcpdump with some dummy filter (at will not capture any traffic). This will overwrite and replace the content of the file from the previous capture.

 

 

@aleksandar.astardzhiev  that is true. l noticed that too. 

Thanks,

Myky

From the CLI, type in

 

delete pcap directory

 

Then press <TAB> 1-2 times.

You shall then see the directories your mgmt pcap files reside within (arranged by date).

Add the directory of the pcap file you want to delete and press enter:

 

delete pcap directory 20240202

 

Done.
