Running Tcpdump

Tcpdump is a common packet analyzer that allows network administrators to display TCP/IP and other packets transmitted or received over the IP telephony network, for debugging purposes.

To run Tcpdump:
1. In the Android Device Utility (see Android Device Utility for more information about the application), enter the phone's IP address, click SSH Connect and browse to a folder on the PC to which to send the information.
2. Next to the Tcpdump button, set the time period or leave it at the default. Default: 30 seconds.
3. Click the Tcpdump button and then after the progress indicator reaches the end you'll view in the results pane a 'Finished' indication.

4. Open the folder on the PC to which you commanded the application to send the information and locate and open the file 'net.pcap'.

Alternatively, run Tcpdump without the utility.

To run tcpdump without the utility:
1. Access the phone via SSH and run the following commands:
setprop ac.ac_tcpdump.timeout <seconds>
2. After defining the capturing time as shown in the preceding command, start the capture:
setprop ac.ac_tcpdump 1
3. Tcpdump capture file will appear in this location:
/sdcard/recording/net.pcap
4. After running Tcpdump, reproduce the issue.
5. Execute the following command from your PC command prompt (cmd):
scp -r admin@%deviceIp%:/sdcard/recording/ %FolderOnPc%
