SIP tracing from 3300 controller

[bobcheese]

So I learned something new this weekend. Maintenance commands 'sip tcpdump on'  'sip tcpdump off' will create a pcap SIP trace file which you can download from the controller and view in wireshark. Very handy.

For those interested you download it from the /vmail folder ovia an ftp session

Remember this only captures the control packet.  Doesn't capture any voice.

good point, but it was the control packets I was looking for anyway.

This came out in MCD 4.2 SP2 but the commands are different although I think they still work on 5.0.
From the RTC Enter:
StartWS
<make sip call>
StopWS

As bobcheese mentioned it saves in the /vmail directory.
The format is WS_xxxxxx.pcap and you can save up to 20 files of approx 55 megs each.


The "SIP TCPDUMP ON|OFF" command is entered from the ESM interface.
