Hi everyone, I''m just starting on virtualization with Citrix XenServer and I would really appreciate if anyone could help me. First of all, sorry if I couldn''t find an answer on forum, but I''ve already tried hard. I''m facing some problems regarding tcp sniffing on a debian lenny virtual server on citrix xenserver 5.5.0 installed on a Dell server HW. I have the server configured with two virtual interfaces, where one of them is receiving a mirrored traffic from an extreme switch. When trying tcpdump directly on xenserver on that interface I can see the full traffic on both xenbr or eth interfaces. Trying tcpdump on the virtual server I can only get UDP traffic (netbios...). I have already tried the procedure described on http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX121729 and others many times, however it is definitely not working. When I try the same procedure on HP or IBM server, I can''t even get tcpdump working on the citrix xenserver shell. Am I missing something here? Thank you! -- Rodrigo Brayner _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Did you try the Citrix XenServer message forums at http://forums.citrix.com/category.jspa?categoryID=101? The forums you are on are for the open source Xen virtualization solutions. Thanks.
