Hi Pierre, Have you downloaded and installed the clearview bits? If so, which build did you install?
I just tried snooping on loopback on of our clearview test machines, and it did work. The test machines don't have tcpdump or wireshark installed on them, so I didn't check using those tools. I would expect that they would work as well. The functionality does not yet exist in Nevada, so if you haven't installed the clearview build, I would not expect snooping on loopback to work. I'll move this over to clearview-discuss. Dan Pierre-Olivier Gaillard wrote: > That's a coincidence.
