New sniffer barely usable

Thu Jan 26, 2012 7:52 pm

I could get the old sniffer to do almost anything, but the sniffer in 5.8 is totally different.

There is no way to unspecify a port selection. "set filter=port=0-65535" is an error. "set filter-port=default" is an error. "set filter-port=" leaves it set as currently set. The Mikrotik Wiki description doesn't match this at all.

There is no way to specifiy both a src-ip-address and a dst-ip-address to concentrate on a single connection.

There is no way to specify a src-ip-address and a dst-port.

Maybe we could at least get the WIki to describe the feature-set of the new sniffer and describe what's there and what it means. For example, you can give 2 or more filter-ip-addresses. What does that imply? Any of them must appear somewhere in the packet? All of them must appear somewhere in the packet?

I figured out how to eliminate the "port" setting. You have to use "edit" and then erase it.

You cannot "set" it to empty, but you can "edit" it to empty. Go figure.
