    You require the use of any telnet/ssh client, a useful one is Putty and can be downloaded here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sg...

    Putty allow's you to ssh on to the command line of the LG.

    1. Log on to LANGuardian console with putty using your 'lguser' account and password credentials.

    2. Create the pcap file
    run tcpdump -w -ni file.pcap

    To figure out the right interface for tcpdump, you should check the sensor settings on LANGuardian

    Note: the command may need to be adjusted depending on your requirements.

    3. scp the file to your desktop via a client such as winscp
