Hi, I am looking for a way to change the operstatus shown for the network interface.
Problem: I have an extra interface on the machine that I would like to use for some program like tcpreplay and tcpdump/wireshark. So, I would like to play a pcap file on this interface and then capture on the same interface with wireshark. Now the problem with this is that unless a cable is plugged in I do not see any packets in wireshark, although I do not see any failures in sending the packets. I would like to do this without any cable being plugged in as I do not intend to send the packets out, is this possible? The reason I cannot use lo interface for doing this is: there will be other packets on the lo interface and I want to capture only the packets in the pcap file that I am playing with tcpreplay. Thanks in advance for any advice on this. -- Thanks, -aka _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
