I am trying to diagnose a weird DHCP/ARP issue for a new network device we're looking to deploy. (Basically, it's not picking up a DHCP lease on our netowrk, vendor says to get a packet capture).
I would like to take a packet capture for all traffic for that device, as soon as it gets plugged in.
I know some switches (e.g. Cisco/Arista) can take packet captures on the switch itself.
For this lab, we just have a basic Ruckus 7150 switch setup - which I don't believe allows that.
(Question - If anybody knows a simple way to take a simple packet capture on the Ruckus switch, please let me know.)
The 7150 can however, configure a port mirror - which is basically a SPAN port, right?
So I was thinking I could setup a port mirror, and plug that port into my Macbook, and capture traffic that way. I do have Wireshark installed on the Macbook.
(My Macbook also obviously has wifi - so I would still have normal network connectivity through that).
My question is - what setup do I need to do on the receiving device? (Macbook)
