4 2 - Building GTK+/GLib with HP's C compiler
7 5 - HP-UX patches to fix packet capture problems
11 The Software Porting And Archive Centre for HP-UX, at
13 http://hpux.connect.org.uk/
15 (with mirrors in various countries, listed on the Centre's home page;
16 you may want to choose a mirror closer to you) has ported versions, in
17 both source and binary form, for Wireshark, as well as for the libpcap,
18 GLib, GTK+, and zlib libraries that it uses.
20 The changes they've made appear largely to be compile option changes; if
21 you've downloaded the source to the latest version of Wireshark (the
22 version on the Centre's site may not necessarily be the latest version),
23 it should be able to compile, perhaps with those changes.
25 They appear to have used HP-UX's "cc" compiler, with the options "-Ae
26 -O"; there's a comment "Add -Dhpux_9 if building under 9.X". It may
29 They currently have libpcap 0.6.2; libpcap 0.6.2, and later versions,
30 include changes to properly open network devices when given the name
31 reported by the lanscan and ifconfig commands - earlier versions didn't
32 do this correctly. Therefore, we strongly suggest you use libpcap 0.6.2
33 or later, not libpcap 0.5.2.
35 2 - Building GTK+/GLib with HP's C compiler
37 By default, HP's C compiler doesn't support "long long int" to provide
38 64-bit integral data types on 32-bit platforms; the "-Ae" flag must be
39 supplied to enable extensions such as that.
41 Wireshark's "configure" script automatically includes that flag if it
42 detects that the native compiler is being used on HP-UX; however, the
43 configure scripts for GTK+ and GLib don't do so, which means that 64-bit
44 integer support won't be enabled.
46 This may prevent some parts of Wireshark from compiling; in order to get
47 64-bit integer support in GTK+/GLib, edit all the Makefiles for GTK+ and
48 GLib, as generated by the GTK+ and GLib "configure" scripts, to add
49 "-Ae" to all "CFLAGS = " definitions found in those Makefiles. (If a
50 Makefile lacks a "CFLAGS = " definition, there's no need to add a
51 definition that includes "-Ae".)
55 nettl is used on HP-UX to trace various streams based subsystems. Wireshark
56 can read nettl files containing raw IP frames (NS_LS_IP, NS_LS_TCP,
57 NS_LS_UDP, NS_LS_ICMP subsystems), all ethernet/tokenring/fddi driver
58 level frames (such as BTLAN, BASE100, GELAN, IGELAN subsystems) and LAPB
59 frames (SX25L2 subsystem). Use "ioscan -kfClan" to see the driver
60 names and compare that to /etc/nettlgen.conf to find the nettl subsystem
61 name for your particular release.
63 It has been tested with files generated on HP-UX 9.04, 10.20, and 11.x.
65 Use the following commands to generate a trace (cf. nettl(1M)):
68 nettl -tn pduin pduout -e NS_LS_IP -f tracefile
69 # Driver level capture. Replace btlan with the name of your interface:
70 nettl -tn pduin pduout -e btlan -f tracefile
71 # X25 capture. You must specify an interface :
72 nettl -tn pduin pduout -e SX25l2 -d /dev/x25_0 -f tracefile
73 # stop capture. subsystem is NS_LS_IP, btlan, SX25L2 :
74 nettl -tf -e subsystem
76 You may have to use "-tn 0x30000000" instead of "-tn pduin pduout"
77 on old versions of 10.20 and 9.04.
81 If you want to use Wireshark to capture packets, you will have to install
82 libpcap; binary distributions are, as noted above, available from the
83 Software Porting And Archive Centre for HP-UX, as well as source code.
85 Versions of libpcap prior to 0.6 didn't handle HP-UX as well as 0.6 and
86 later versions do. You should install the latest version.
88 The source code is also available from the official home of libpcap and
91 http://www.tcpdump.org/
93 if you want a version later than the version available from the Software
94 Porting And Archive Centre; however, the versions available from
95 tcpdump.org might not, for example, include support for building libpcap
98 5 - HP-UX patches to fix packet capture problems
100 Note that packet-capture programs such as Wireshark/TShark or tcpdump
101 may, on HP-UX, not be able to see packets sent from the machine on which
102 they're running. Make sure you have a recent "LAN Cummulative/DLPI" patch

128 1. You do need a late "LAN products cumulative patch" (e.g. PHNE_18173

158 What you are seeing is expected, un-patched, behaviour for an HP-UX
159 system. On 11.00, you need to install the latest lancommon/DLPI
160 patches, and then the latest driver patch for the interface(s) in use.
161 At that point, a miracle happens and you should start seeing outbound

187 Thanks a lot. I have this problem on several machines running HPUX
188 10.20 and 11.00. The machines where patched up before y2k so did not
189 know what to think. Anyway I have now installed PHNE_19766,
190 PHNE_19826, PHNE_20008, PHNE_20735 on the C200 and now I can see the
191 outbound traffic too. Thanks again.

228 : Has anyone ported tcpdump (or something similar) to HP/UX 9.x?
230 I'm reasonably confident that any port of tcpdump to 9.X would require
231 the (then optional) STREAMS product. This would bring DLPI, which is
232 what one uses to access interfaces in promiscuous mode.
234 I'm not sure that HP even sells the 9.X STREAMS product any longer,
235 since HP-UX 9.X is off the pricelist (well, maybe 9.10 for the old 68K
238 Your best bet is to be up on 10.20 or better if that is at all
239 possible. If your hardware is supported by it, I'd go with HP-UX 11.
240 If you want to see the system's own outbound traffic, you'll never get
241 that functionality on 9.X, but it might happen at some point for 10.20
246 (as per other messages cited here, the ability to see the system's own
247 outbound traffic did happen).
249 Rick Jones reports that HP-UX 11i needs no patches for outbound
250 promiscuous mode support.
252 An additional note, from Jost Martin, for HP-UX 10.20:
254 Q: How do I get wireshark on HPUX to capture the _outgoing_ packets
256 A: You need to get PHNE_20892,PHNE_20725 and PHCO_10947 (or
257 newer, this is as of 4.4.00) and its dependencies. Then you can
258 enable the feature as described below:
260 Patch Name: PHNE_20892
261 Patch Description: s700 10.20 PCI 100Base-T cumulative patch
262 To trace the outbound packets, please do the following
263 to turn on a global promiscuous switch before running
264 the promiscuous applications like snoop or tcpdump:
266 adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/mem
267 lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W 1
268 (adb will echo the result showing that the flag has
271 (Thanks for this part to HP-support, Ratingen)
273 The attached hack does this and some security-related stuff
274 (thanks to hildeb@www.stahl.bau.tu-bs.de (Ralf Hildebrandt) who
275 posted the security-part some time ago)
279 (Don't switch IP-forwarding off, if you need it !)
280 Install the hack as /sbin/init.d/hacl_ip_stack (adjust
281 permissions !) and make a sequencing-symlink
282 /sbin/rc2.d/S350hack_ip_stack pointing to this script.
283 Now all this is done on every reboot.
285 According to Rick Jones, the global promiscuous switch also has to be
286 turned on for HP-UX 11.00, but not for 11i - and, in fact, the switch
287 doesn't even exist on 11i.
