System Administration Guide: IP Services

ProcedureHow to Save Logged Packets to a File

  1. Assume a role that includes the IP Filter Management rights profile, or become superuser.

    You can assign the IP Filter Management rights profile to a role that you create. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services.

  2. Save the logged packets to a file.


    # cat /dev/ipl > filename

    Continue logging packets to the filename file until you interrupt the procedure by typing Control-C to get the command line prompt back.

The following example shows the result when logged packets are saved to a file.


# cat /dev/ipl > /tmp/logfile
