Comware

Hello all,

I am looking for a way to perform packet capture on a 5510 24G SFP 4SFP+ HI JH149A.
In the manual (link can be found on the bottom of the post) on page 231 I found a configuration example using QOS policy, traffic behaviour and mirror-to-cpu.

Unfortunately the command to actually write away/display the packets doesn't seem to exist on my device.
<DeviceA> packet-capture interface gigabitethernet1/0/1

Is this a bug in the firmware? Or am I using the wrong manual?
Is there an alternative. Please note that this is a remote device to which I do not have physical access.

Thank you.
Kind Regards,

Sven Clabots

Sven,

You need to load the packet_capture feature package with the boot-loader command before those commands will work.  It should be a part of the archive you copied to the switch.  If not, download it again from My Networking and you should be all set.

Hi Sven,

I've been looking at the packages from HP, and there is no packet-capture feature image for the R1111P01 software. So I think you need to upgrade.

If you download the R1120P10 for the HP-5510 file from "My software" there is a file called "5510hi-cmw710-packet-capture-r1120p10.bin". You can - after you upgrade to R1120P10, install this image. Upload it and do

>install activate feature flash:/5510hi-cmw710-packet-capture-r1120p10.bin

then your packet capture feature should work.

NB: There is a newer software R1121, but its packaged in a strange way (faulty it seems) HPE should look at this, and there is no packet-capture images included in that release download. I'd go with R1120P10.
