Hi, I'm using wl-500 with Backfire to monitor all network traffic flowing to one host, which is also Asus, but wl-520 with original firmware, which is dying unexpectedly and I would like to find out why. To get more information than just packets frm tcpdump I'm also collecting system information like load, memory stats etc. from the wl-520 via that hidden admin command using wget + Lua.
Everything works great, one exception is tcpdump which can sniff only broadcast traffic. I don't know much about networks, but I thought, that if the interface is bridge even with static IP address I should be able to sniff all the traffic flowing throught that bridge. My bridge configuration is simple vlan on WAN port and port 1, with static IP. If i configure the bridge with protocol 'none' I can sniff all the traffic, but I can't reach the wl-520 on that vlan since the bridge is without IP. So this it dead end. My question is, is it even technically possible to do what I would like to achieve? Thank you :-) PS: As I see it now, I should use 2 wl-500 one to collect system information and second for tcpdump. -- ynezz _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
