       through SSH.

SYNOPSIS
       ciscodump [ --help ] [ --version ] [ --extcap-interfaces ]
       [ --extcap-dlts ] [ --extcap-interface=<interface> ]
       [ --extcap-config ] [ --extcap-capture-filter=<capture filter> ]

       ciscodump --extcap-interfaces

       ciscodump --extcap-interface=<interface> --extcap-dlts

       ciscodump --extcap-interface=<interface> --extcap-config

       ciscodump --extcap-interface=<interface> --fifo=<path to file or pipe>

       --remote-username=user --remote-interface=<the router interface>

DESCRIPTION
       ciscodump is an extcap tool that relys on Cisco EPC to allow a user to
       run a remote capture on a Cisco router in a SSH connection. The minimum
       IOS version supporting this feature is 12.4(20)T. More details can be
       found here:
       http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/ios-nx-os-software/ios-embedded-packet-capture/datasheet_c78-502727.html

       Supported interfaces:

       1. cisco

OPTIONS
       --help
	   Print program arguments.

       --version
	   Print program version.

       --extcap-interfaces
	   List available interfaces.

       --extcap-interface=<interface>
	   Use specified interfaces.

       --extcap-dlts
	   List DLTs of specified interface.

       --extcap-config
	   List configuration options of specified interface.

       --capture
	   Start capturing from specified interface and save it in place
	   specified by --fifo.

       --fifo=<path to file or pipe>
	   Save captured packet to file or send it through pipe.

       --remote-host=<remote host>
	   The address of the remote host for capture.

       --remote-port=<remote port>
	   The SSH port of the remote host.

       --remote-username=<username>
	   The username for ssh authentication.

       --remote-password=<password>
	   The password to use (if not ssh-agent and pubkey are used).
	   WARNING: the passwords are stored in plaintext and visible to all
	   users on this system. It is recommended to use keyfiles with a SSH
	   agent.

       --remote-filter=<filter>
	   The remote filter on the router. This is a capture filter that
	   follows the Cisco IOS standards
	   (http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/access-lists/26448-ACLsamples.html).
	   Multiple filters can be specified using a comma between them.
	   BEWARE: when using a filter, the default behavior is to drop all
	   the packets except the ones that fall into the filter.

	   Examples:

	       permit ip host MYHOST any, permit ip any host MYHOST (capture the traffic for MYHOST)

	       deny ip host MYHOST any, deny ip any host MYHOST, permit ip any any (capture all the traffic except MYHOST)

       --sshkey=<SSH private key path>
	   The path to a private key for authentication.

       --remote-interface=<remote interface>
	   The remote network interface to capture from.

       --extcap-capture-filter=<capture filter>
	   Unused (compatibility only).

EXAMPLES
       To see program arguments:

	   ciscodump --help

       To see program version:

	   ciscodump --version

       To see interfaces:

	   ciscodump --extcap-interfaces

       Only one interface (cisco) is supported.

	 Output:
	   interface {value=cisco}{display=SSH remote capture}

       To see interface DLTs:

	   ciscodump --extcap-interface=cisco --extcap-dlts

	 Output:
	   dlt {number=147}{name=cisco}{display=Remote capture dependent DLT}

       To see interface configuration options:

	   ciscodump --extcap-interface=cisco --extcap-config

	 Output:
	   ciscodump --extcap-interface=cisco --extcap-config
	   arg {number=0}{call=--remote-host}{display=Remote SSH server address}
	       {type=string}{tooltip=The remote SSH host. It can be both an IP address or a hostname}
	       {required=true}
	   arg {number=1}{call=--remote-port}{display=Remote SSH server port}{type=unsigned}
	       {default=22}{tooltip=The remote SSH host port (1-65535)}{range=1,65535}
	   arg {number=2}{call=--remote-username}{display=Remote SSH server username}{type=string}
	       {default=<current user>}{tooltip=The remote SSH username. If not provided, the current
	       user will be used}
	   arg {number=3}{call=--remote-password}{display=Remote SSH server password}{type=string}
	       {tooltip=The SSH password, used when other methods (SSH agent or key files) are unavailable.}
	   arg {number=4}{call=--sshkey}{display=Path to SSH private key}{type=fileselect}
	       {tooltip=The path on the local filesystem of the private ssh key}
	   arg {number=5}{call--sshkey-passphrase}{display=SSH key passphrase}
	       {type=string}{tooltip=Passphrase to unlock the SSH private key}
	   arg {number=6}{call=--remote-interface}{display=Remote interface}{type=string}
	       {required=true}{tooltip=The remote network interface used for capture}
	   arg {number=7}{call=--remote-filter}{display=Remote capture filter}{type=string}
	       {default=(null)}{tooltip=The remote capture filter}
	   arg {number=8}{call=--remote-count}{display=Packets to capture}{type=unsigned}{required=true}
	       {tooltip=The number of remote packets to capture.}

       To capture:

	   ciscodump --extcap-interface cisco --fifo=/tmp/cisco.pcap --capture --remote-host 192.168.1.10
	       --remote-username user --remote-interface gigabit0/0
	       --remote-filter "permit ip host 192.168.1.1 any, permit ip any host 192.168.1.1"

       NOTE: Packet count is mandatory, hence the capture will start after
       this number.

KNOWN ISSUES
       The configuration of the capture on the routers is a multi-step
       process. If the SSH connection is interrupted during it, the
       configuration can be in an inconsistent state. That can happen also if
       the capture is stopped and ciscodump can't clean the configuration up.
       In this case it is necessary to log into the router and manually clean
       the configuration, removing both the capture point
       (WIRESHARK_CAPTURE_POINT), the capture buffer
       (WIRESHARK_CAPTURE_BUFFER) and the capture filter
       (WIRESHARK_CAPTURE_FILTER).

       Another known issues is related to the number of captured packets
       (--remote-count). Due to the nature of the capture buffer, ciscodump
       waits for the capture to complete and then issues the command to show
       it. It means that if the user specifies a number of packets above the
       currently captured, the show command is never shown. Not only is the
       count of the maximum number of captured packets, but it is also the
       _exact_ number of expected packets.
