$Id: README.hpux,v 1.10 2000/02/21 20:41:01 guy Exp $ Contents: 1 - Building ethereal 2 - nettl support 3 - "libpcap" on HP-UX 1 - Building ethereal The Software Porting And Archive Centre for HP-UX, at http://hpux.csc.liv.ac.uk/ (and with mirrors in various countries, listed on the Centre's home page) has ported versions, in both source and binary form, for Ethereal, as well as for the "libpcap", GLib, GTK+, "zlib", and CMU SNMP libraries that it uses. The changes they've made appear largely to be compile option changes; if you've downloaded the source to the latest version of Ethereal (the version on the Centre's site may not necessarily be the latest version), it should be able to compile, perhaps with those changes. They appear to have used HP-UX's "cc" compiler, with the options "-Ae -O"; there's a comment "Add -Dhpux_9 if building under 9.X". It may also build with GCC. 2 - nettl support nettl is used on HP-UX to trace various streams based subsystems. Ethereal can read nettl files containing IP frames (NS_LS_IP subsystem) and LAPB frames (SX25L2 subsystem). It has been tested with files generated on HP-UX 9.04 and 10.20. 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 # 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 -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 should work. 3 - "libpcap" on HP-UX If you want to use Ethereal to capture packets, you will have to install "libpcap"; the INSTALL file for "libpcap" has several comments about HP-UX, which you should read if you're going to install and use "libpcap" on HP-UX. Note that packet-capture programs such as Ethereal/Tethereal or tcpdump may, on HP-UX, not be able to see packets sent from the machine on which they're running.

Search/Read the archives ?-) 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. At that point, a miracle happens and you should start seeing outbound traffic.

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. Another posting: http://www.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=457744130 indicates that you need to install the optional STREAMS product to do captures on HP-UX 9.x: Newsgroups: comp.sys.hp.hpux Subject: Re: tcpdump HP/UX 9.x Date: 03/22/1999 From: Rick Jones Dave Barr (barr@cis.ohio-state.edu) wrote: : Has anyone ported tcpdump (or something similar) to HP/UX 9.x? 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, since HP-UX 9.X is off the pricelist (well, maybe 9.10 for the old 68K devices). Your best bet is to be up on 10.20 or better if that is at all possible. If your hardware is supported by it, I'd go with HP-UX 11. If you want to see the system's own outbound traffic, you'll never get that functionality on 9.X, but it might happen at some point for 10.20 and 11.X. rick jones (as per other messages cited here, the ability to see the system's own outbound traffic did happen).

You may need to reference the card's DLPI device directly. We were having trouble getting Ethereal to capture on an HP-UX 10.20 machine here. I found an article on Deja News that says: "To access a particular interface, you would say "tcpdump -i /dev/dlpiN" where N is the PPA of the interface you wish to use. You get the PPA by looking at the output of lanscan. On 10.20, it is the same value as the NMID. On 11.X, it is the Card Instance number." This didn't help in our case, but it might in yours. The full article is at http://x34.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=549366486 . Another article by the same author mentions that experimental versions of libpcap and tcpdump are available at ftp://ftp.cup.hp.com/dist/networking/tools/ . The article itself is at http://x34.deja.com/[ST_rn=ps]/getdoc.xp?AN=558665378 . The first of those articles also says: BTW, before you have to make a follow-up post, you will find that unless you have the latest lan common/DLPI/driver patches installed, you will _not_ see the system's own outbound traffic. It appears that a consequence of the fact that HP-UX's DLPI doesn't work like Solaris's, in that, on Solaris, to get at the device "hme0", say, "libpcap" has to open "/dev/hme" and then tell it to use the 0th interface, whilst on HP-UX you have to go through "/dev/dlpi", you won't get a list of interfaces in the dialog box for "Capture:Start" - you'll have to do through the aforementioned song and dance to find the PPA of the interface you want to use, and supply the "dlpiN" name by hand (I think you can omit the "/dev/" in both tcpdump and Ethereal). Here is a patch to "pcap-dlpi.c" in libpcap that, at least on HP-UX 11.X, allows the name of the network interface, rather than the "dlpiN" name, to be specified to tcpdump and Ethereal. It has not been tried on HP-UX 10.20; it fixes one bug that could have caused the code in vanilla libpcap not to correctly find the PPA for an interface on HP-UX 10.20, but HP-UX 10.20's DLPI doesn't supply, in the data returned by a DL_HP_PPA_REQ request, network interface names, so, on systems without the network interface names in that data, the code continues to check the major device number. On HP-UX 11.00, the patch allows a network interface to be specified by name as an argument to tcpdump, rather than requiring that you specify a "dlpiN" name (and it should work equally well with Ethereal). If you try this code on HP-UX 10.20, and it doesn't let you specify the interface by name, please send mail to ethereal-dev@zing.org, so that we know that it didn't work - we'll probably send you debugging patches in the hopes of being able to make it work on 10.20 as well. Here's the patch (to vanilla libpcap 0.4; it patches "configure", "aclocal.m4", and "configure.in", to make the configure script check whether your version of HP-UX supplies the interface names in the reply to a DL_HP_PPA_REQ request, and "pcap-dlpi.c"): *** ../libpcap-0.4/configure Sat Jul 25 12:41:51 1998 --- configure Fri Jan 14 00:40:04 2000 *************** *** 1702,1709 **** fi echo $ac_n "checking if unaligned accesses fail""... $ac_c" 1>&6 !
