Live signalling capture by tbsigtrace
You can now activate tbsigtrace and pipe it directly in wireshark through SSH to get a live capture SS7, ISDN or IP (not all in the same wireshark window).
WARNING: tbsigtrace application should not be used all the time, otherwise it might reduce performance. Also we suggest to do the live capture on only one Tmedia at a time.
The procedure is as following:
Contents |
Download plink
Download plink - http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/plink.exe Place it in C:\Program Files\Putty directory
Download tbsigtrace version 2.7
If not using version 2.7, download the attached tbsigtrace on unit (/root directory or any other valid directory)
| CentOS version | ppc version |
|---|---|
Note: Unzip the file so that it gives you the executable file tbsigtrace_2_7_10_centos or tbsigtrace_2_7_10_ppc.
Upload tbsigtrace to toolpack server
Rename tbsigtrace_2_7_10_centos or tbsigtrace_2_7_10_ppc to "tbsigtrace_2_7_10" and upload it to the toolpack server /root directory or any other valid directory.
Execute the command to capture the signalling accordingly
For SS7 capture
plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] [dir]/tbsigtrace_2_7_10 -adapter TB00xxxx -stdout -ss7 | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
ex.
plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword /root/tbsigtrace_2_7_10 -adapter TB005052 -stdout -ss7 | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
For ISDN capture
plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] [dir]/tbsigtrace_2_7_10 -adapter TB00xxxx -stdout -isdn | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
ex.
plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword /root/tbsigtrace_2_7_10 -adapter TB005052 -stdout -isdn | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
For SIP or SIGTRAN capture
plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] [dir]/tbsigtrace_2_7_10 -adapter TB00xxxx -stdout -ip | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
ex.
plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword /root/tbsigtrace_2_7_10 -adapter TB005052 -stdout -ip | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
For Radius, SNMP or H.248 capture
plink.exe -ssh root@[IP_of_management_port] -P [ssh_port] -pw [ssh_password] tcpdump -i mgmt0 -s 0 -w - | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
ex.
plink.exe -ssh root@10.10.10.10 -P 22 -pw mypassword tcpdump -i mgmt0 -s 0 -w - | "C:\Program Files\Wireshark\wireshark.exe" -k -i -
