The following instructions apply if you have a Linux or FreeBSD platform and
|
||
|
|
want libpcap to support the DAG range of passive network monitoring cards from
|
||
|
|
Endace (http://www.endace.com, see below for further contact details).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) Install and build the DAG software distribution by following the
|
||
|
|
instructions supplied with that package. Current Endace customers can download
|
||
|
|
the DAG software distibution from https://www.endace.com
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) Configure libcap. To allow the 'configure' script to locate the DAG
|
||
|
|
software distribution use the '--with-dag' option:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure --with-dag=DIR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where DIR is the root of the DAG software distribution, for example
|
||
|
|
/var/src/dag. If the DAG software is correctly detected 'configure' will
|
||
|
|
report:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
checking whether we have DAG API... yes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If 'configure' reports that there is no DAG API, the directory may have been
|
||
|
|
incorrectly specified or the DAG software was not built before configuring
|
||
|
|
libpcap.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See also the libpcap INSTALL.txt file for further libpcap configuration
|
||
|
|
options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building libpcap at this stage will include support for both the native packet
|
||
|
|
capture stream (linux or bpf) and for capturing from DAG cards. To build
|
||
|
|
libpcap with only DAG support specify the capture type as 'dag' when
|
||
|
|
configuring libpcap:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
./configure --with-dag=DIR --with-pcap=dag
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Applications built with libpcap configured in this way will only detect DAG
|
||
|
|
cards and will not capture from the native OS packet stream.
