Let's try asking more informed questions then. You asked 'Does tcpdump
work on enc0?'. The answer to this question is literally in the
manpage. Had you given some context, you might have gotten more in
depth responses. Here's an example :
Hey everybody,
I see in the manpage for enc that tcpdump should
work on these pseudo-devices. I'm trying right now
with "tcpdump enc0 host 1.2.3.4" but I don't see any
traffic. I do have active SAs up and running, so
what is going on ? Of course I googled it, but I
came up empty handed...
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen Bosch
Had you given all the info you're giving us now beforehand in your
single lined posting to this mailing list, I bet you would have gotten
more useful answers. The only one who seems snarky is you, IMO.
