Capturing VoIP and Ethernet traffic

Connect to the SBC using a ssh connection
Start tbx_cli_tools_remote (type "tbx_cli_tools_remote")

The following is displayed:

Available remote hosts to control (TBX_GW_PORT=12358, local IPs 172.16.0.1 / 172.18.0.1). Press corresponding letter to
control:
   a : TB016634.tbrouter
   b : TB016635.gateway
   c : TB016635.logtrace
   d : TB016635.stream_server
   e : TB016635.tboam_app
   f : TB016635.tbrouter       <------------tbrouter
   g : TB016635.tbsnmpagent
   h : TB016635.tbsyslog
   i : TB016635.tbuctwriter
   j : TB016635.toolpack_engine
   k : TB016635.toolpack_sys_mgr
   l : TB016635.web_server

Connect to the tbrouter application
Start capture using the 'p' key (lowercase p), leave default parameters and press 'enter'
Stop capture using the 'p' key (lowercase p)

Retrieve VoIP captures

VoIP capture files (pcap/Wireshark compatible) are locate here:

 /lib/tb/toolpack/tbrouter/pcap

To download the voip capture file, use sFTP on the management port. This can be done on Windows using tools like Filezilla or WinSCP. Note: There can be multiple capture files per capture session (for example, on systems with 10Gbps network devices, because Ethernet packets on these devices are spread to multiple packets processing/capture cores)
