Let me see if I understand your request: 1. By "remote packet capture" I expect you mean the use of the "remote traffic mirroring" capability as described in the ProCurve "Management and Configuration Guide". Is this correct ?
Yes.
2. It sounds like you want to capture/decode the ProCurve remote traffic mirroring frames being sent on the network as opposed to using Wireshark to capture the mirrored traffic on the "exit port" of a "remote switch".
Correct.
A question: (I'm kinda new to this stuff). What is gained by capturing the encapsulated traffic as opposed to just capturing the traffic on the "exit port" ?
I can direct the ERSPAN traffic at a remote monitoring station, and perform the capture/analysis right there. Wireshark understands Cisco ERSPAN, which allows me to capture and decode the encapsulated capture directly.
In any case, a starting point would be to post a small capture containing the encapsulated remote capture packets.
That I can do.
I suggest opening a enhancement request on bugs.wireshark.org and attaching the capture file to to the request.
Thanks for the suggestion, will do so.
