+sense that you can run `configure; make` or `cmake ... ; make` and
+expect everything to work out of the box. At the time of this writing
+(August 2017) the most recent version of Wireshark available at the
+HP-UX Porting and Archive Centre is 1.10.5 and the most recently
+reported HP-UX bug (#6550) was from 2012. The Porting and Archive Centre
+provides libraries required to build TShark, and while the GTK+ packages
+are current (2.24.31) they are 32-bit only. Recent Qt packages are not
+provided.

Use the following commands to generate a trace (cf. nettl(1M)):
-# IP capture. 0x30000000 means PDU in and PDU out :
-nettl -tn 0x30000000 -e NS_LS_IP -f tracefile
+# IP capture:
+nettl -tn pduin pduout -e NS_LS_IP -f tracefile
+# Driver level capture. Replace btlan with the name of your interface:
+nettl -tn pduin pduout -e btlan -f tracefile
# X25 capture. You must specify an interface :
-nettl -tn 0x30000000 -e SX25l2 -d /dev/x25_0 -f tracefile
-# stop capture. subsystem is NS_LS_IP or SX25L2 :
+nettl -tn pduin pduout -e SX25l2 -d /dev/x25_0 -f tracefile
+# stop capture. subsystem is NS_LS_IP, btlan, SX25L2 :
nettl -tf -e subsystem
-One may be able to specify "-tn pduin pduout" rather than
-"-tn 0x30000000"; the nettl man page for HP-UX 10.30 implies that it

Two things:
1. You do need a late "LAN products cumulative patch" (e.g. PHNE_18173
for s700/10.20).
2. You must use
echo 'lanc_outbound_promisc_flag/W1' | /usr/bin/adb -w /stand/vmunix /dev/kmem
You can insert this e.g. into /sbin/init.d/lan

What you are seeing is expected, un-patched, behaviour for an HP-UX
system. On 11.00, you need to install the latest lancommon/DLPI
- patches, and then the latest driver patch for the interface(s) in use.

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

I'm reasonably confident that any port of tcpdump to 9.X would require
the (then optional) STREAMS product. This would bring DLPI, which is
what one uses to access interfaces in promiscuous mode.

I'm not sure that HP even sells the 9.X STREAMS product any longer,
