>> Use the source What source? As I pointed out the common device drivers sources (e.g. Emulex) do not allow you sniffing any layer beyond FC4. It seems that the HBA itself does not support such an option (or keeps it hidden). Therefore I am looking for someone who is familiar with other FC HBA, which may enable low level (layers FC1-FC4) sniffing.
In general I would appreciate anyone who can guide me to FC HBA sources other than Emulex, QLogic. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ira Abramov Sent: Tuesday, September 12, 2006 8:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: FC device driver for sniffing Quoting Ophir Munk, from the post of Tue, 12 Sep: > Hi, > > I am looking for a Fiber Channel HBA (under Linux of course) that will > operate in sniffing mode and will enable the inspection of all FC > traffic at all layers: FC1-FC4.
