Does tcpdump work on enc0?
Are you really too lazy to read a manual page?
And for the record -- since some people found that question beyond the
pale -- I have been tcpdumping enc0 all morning and I am seeing no
traffic, inspite of the fact that I have active SAs up and running.
And why?
Because the man page doesn't mention that tcpdump ignores the host
parameter when used with enc0 (this is something someone else was kind
enough to point out, proving that the question wasn't pointless).
So -- let's try this -- let's fix the man page, instead of being snarky
and blaming the person asking the question.
Thank you for your help.
I think that is very clear, after all the src and dst addresses are
part of the ipsec encapsulated header, and not of a regular IP header.
The host specifier of tcpdump only applies to IP headers.

Perhaps the lesson learned is: Include the command you are typing with
any help request.
