Capture filters seem to accept first vlan tag and drop the rest.
$ man pcap-filter # or "man tcpdump", for versions of libpcap prior to 1.0.0 ... vlan [vlan_id] True if the packet is an IEEE 802.1Q VLAN packet. If [vlan_id] is specified, only true if the packet has the specified vlan_id. Note that the first vlan keyword encountered in expression ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ changes the decoding offsets for the remainder of expression on ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the assumption that the packet is a VLAN packet. The vlan ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [vlan_id] expression may be used more than once, to filter on ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ VLAN hierarchies. Each use of that expression increments the ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ filter offsets by 4. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For example: vlan 100 && vlan 200 filters on VLAN 200 encapsulated within VLAN 100, and vlan && vlan 300 && ip filters IPv4 protocols encapsulated in VLAN 300 encapsulated within any higher order VLAN.
Are there any tricks to handle more than one vlan?
Unfortunately, none that I know of. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
